“We thought it would be worth the while to read the epitaphs where so many were lost at sea; however, as not only their lives, but commonly their bodies also, were lost or not identified, there were fewer epitaphs of this sort than we expected, though there were not a few. Their graveyard is the ocean.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
