Link Dead

Famous quotes containing the words link and/or dead:

“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Jesus saw Lazarus.
Lazarus was likely in heaven,
as dead as a pear
and the very same light green color.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
