Famous quotes containing the word graves:

    The guileless old scapegoat;
    For forty nights and days
    Followed in Jesus’ ways,
    Sure guard behind Him kept,
    Tears like a lover wept.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    And they that rule in England
    In stately conclave met,
    Alas, alas, for England
    They have no graves as yet.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Cole’s Hill was the scene of the secret night burials of those who died during the first year of the settlement. Corn was planted over their graves so that the Indians should not know how many of their number had perished.
    —For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
