Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks.
From river to river you comb the town
For a place to lay your family down.”

As his corse to the rampart we hurried;”

“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)
