Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“Nor blame I Death, because he bare
The use of virtue out of earth;
I know transplanted human worth
Will bloom to profit, otherwhere.

For this alone on Death I wreak
The wrath that garners in my heart:
He put our lives so far apart
We cannot hear each other speak.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“Our Mother, shall we rise on Mary’s day
In Maryland, wherever corpses married
Under the rubble, bundled together?”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
