Human Corpses

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or corpses:

“First, the cold friction of expiring sense
Without enchantment, offering no promise
But bitter tastelessness of shadow fruit
As body and soul begin to fall asunder.
Second, the conscious impotence of rage
At human folly,”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

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