Lies Beneath

Famous quotes containing the words lies and/or beneath:

    “Here lies the body of William Jones
    Who all his life collected bones,
    Till Death, that grim and boney spectre,
    That universal bone collector,
    Boned old Jones, so neat and tidy,
    And here he lies, all bona fide.”
    —Anonymous. “Epitaph on William Jones,” from Eleanor Broughton’s Varia (1925)

    “Thou art a beaten dog beneath the hail,
    A swollen magpie in a fitful sun,
    Half black half white
    Nor knowst’ou wing from tail
    Pull down thy vanity
    How mean thy hates”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
