Lies Beneath

Famous quotes containing the words lies and/or beneath:

“So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

“Toll for the brave—
The brave! that are no more:
All sunk beneath the wave,
Fast by their native shore.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
