Dead Language

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or language:

    Unlike the Concord, the Merrimack is not a dead but a living stream, though it has less life within its waters and on its banks. It has a swift current, and, in this part of its course, a clayey bottom, almost no weeds, and comparatively few fishes.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There’s language in her eye, her cheek, her lip,
    Nay, her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look out
    At every joint and motive of her body.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
