Long Bones

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or bones:

    “I heard the bell tolled on thy burial day,
    I saw the hearse that bore thee slow away,
    And, turning from my nursery window, drew
    A long, long sigh, and wept a last adieu!”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “Pardon, goddess of the night,
    Those that slew thy virgin knight,
    For the which, with songs of woe,
    Round about her tomb they go.
    Midnight, assist our moan;
    Help us to sigh and groan,
    Heavily, heavily.
    Graves, yawn and yield your dead,
    Till death be uttered,
    Heavily, heavily.
    Now unto thy bones good night!
    Yearly will I do this rite.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
