Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“From this fat dungeon I could rise to skin
And human title, putting pig within.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

“O how can it be that the ground itself does not sicken?
How can you be alive you growths of spring?
How can you furnish health you blood of herbs, roots, orchards, grain?
Are they not continually putting distemper’d corpses within you?
Is not every continent work’d over and over with sour dead?”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
