Famous quotes containing the words sexton and/or woods:

    who sit like a bridge club,
    their faces poked out
    from under their habits,

    Among the earliest institutions to be invented, if I read the stars right, is a Protestant monastery, a place of elegant seclusion where melancholy gentlemen and ladies may go to spend the advanced session of life in drinking milk, walking the woods & reading the Bible and the poets.
