Line Passing

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or passing:

    Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.
    Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 44:14.

    The line “their name liveth for evermore” was chosen by Rudyard Kipling on behalf of the Imperial War Graves Commission as an epitaph to be used in Commonwealth War Cemeteries. Kipling had himself lost a son in the fighting.

    On a day—alack the day—
    Love, whose month is ever May,
    Spied a blossom passing fair
    Playing in the wanton air.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
