Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“The cities are the principal home and seat of the human group. They are the coral colony for Man, the collective being.”

“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)
