Oak Grove Cemetery Fall River

Famous quotes containing the words oak, grove, cemetery, fall and/or river:

    Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    He was burned, so he ran into the bamboo grove, but the grove caught fire.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    The cemetery isn’t really a place to make a statement.
    Mary Elizabeth Baker, U.S. cemetery committee head. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 15 (June 13, 1988)

    I fellowed sleep who kissed me in the brain,
    Let fall the tear of time; the sleeper’s eye,
    Shifting to light, turned on me like a moon.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The Xanthus or Scamander is not a mere dry channel and bed of a mountain torrent, but fed by the ever-flowing springs of fame ... and I trust that I may be allowed to associate our muddy but much abused Concord River with the most famous in history.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
