Famous quotes containing the word names:
“Row after row with strict impunity
The headstones yield their names to the element,
The wind whirrs without recollection....”

Nor habitations long their names retain,
But in oblivion to the final day remain.”

I think, enough. And even if only first names are ever exchanged
The people who own them seem rock-true and marvelously self-sufficient.”
