Lord Graves

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or graves:

    Lord Thomas was buried in the church,
    Fair Ellinor in the choir;
    And out from her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Thomas a briar.
    —Unknown. Lord Thomas and Fair Annet (l. 77–80)

    Our graves that hide us from the searching sun
    Are like drawn curtains when the play is done.
    Thus march we, playing, to our latest rest,
    Only, we die in earnest—that’s no jest.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
