Famous quotes containing the word funeral:

    Up, black, striped and damasked like the chasuble
    At a funeral mass, the skunk’s tail
    Paraded the skunk.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,—a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
    As his corse to the rampart we hurried;
    Charles Wolfe (1791–1823)
