Ground Burial

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or burial:

    “When we dream about those who are long since forgotten or dead, it is a sign that we have undergone a radical transformation and that the ground on which we live has been completely dug up: then the dead rise up, and our antiquity becomes modernity.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “I heard the bell tolled on thy burial day,
    I saw the hearse that bore thee slow away,
    And, turning from my nursery window, drew
    A long, long sigh, and wept a last adieu!”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
