Famous quotes containing the words purgatory and/or chasm:
“All know that all the dead in the world about that place are stuck
And that should mother seek her son she’d have but little luck

I swear to God I questioned them and all they had to say
Was fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
