Famous quotes containing the words remains and/or graves:

    There yet remains but one concluding tale,
    And then this chronicle of mine is ended—
    Fulfilled, the duty God ordained to me,
    A sinner. Not without purpose did the Lord
    Put me to witness much for many years
    And educate me in the love of books.
    One day some indefatigable monk
    Will find my conscientious, unsigned work;
    Like me, he will light up his ikon-lamp
    And, shaking from the scroll the age-old dust,
    He will transcribe these tales in all their truth.
    Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837)

    One, two and many: flesh had made him blind,
    Flesh had one pleasure only in the act,
    Flesh set one purpose only in the mind—
    Triumph of flesh and afterwards to find
    Still those same terrors wherewith flesh was racked.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
