Famous quotes containing the words granite and/or hills:
“We placed the wreaths upon the splended granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us—loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe—yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!”
—Victoria (1819–1901)
“All the hills and vales along
Earth is bursting into song,
And the singers are the chaps
Who are going to die perhaps.”
—Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895–1915)
