Famous quotes containing the word bury:

    But perhaps a man is not required to bury himself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Now bury your bird,” the wind it bawled,

    So light-eyed and so brown....”

    But even in a telephone booth
    evil can seep out of the receiver
    and we must cover it with a mattress,
    and then tear it from its roots
    and bury it,
    bury it.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
