Bodies Recovered

Famous quotes containing the words bodies and/or recovered:

    Bodies of holy men and women exude
    Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
    But under heavy loads of trampled clay
    Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
    Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Promise me solemnly,” I said to her as she lay on what I believed to be her death bed, “if you find in the world beyond the grave that you can communicate with me—that there is some way in which you can make me aware of your continued existence—promise me solemnly that you will never, never avail yourself of it.” She recovered and never, never forgave me.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
