Famous quotes containing the words clay and/or bodies:
“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betray’d.
Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“What has this bugbear Death to frighten man,
If souls can die, as well as bodies can?”
—Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)
