Funeral Processions

Famous quotes containing the words funeral and/or processions:

    Up, black, striped and damasked like the chasuble
    At a funeral mass, the skunk’s tail
    Paraded the skunk.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    It is difficult to believe that even idiots ever succumbed to such transparent contradictions, to such gaudy processions of mere counter-words, to so vast and obvious a nonsensicality ... sentence after sentence that has no apparent meaning at all—stuff quite as bad as the worst bosh of Warren Gamaliel Harding.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
