Long Bones

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or bones:

    “It could not have come down to us so far,
    Through the interstices of things ajar
    On the long bead chain of repeated birth,
    To be a bird while we are men on earth,”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “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)
