Covered

Famous quotes containing the word covered:

    “At Eutaw Springs the valiant died;
    Their limbs with dust are covered o’er—
    Weep on, ye springs, your tearful tide;
    How many heroes are no more!”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    “This is the village where the funeral
    Stilted its dusty march over deep ruts
    Up the hillside covered with queen’s lace
    To the patch of weeds known finally to all.”
