Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or roses:
“It is remarkable that the dead lie everywhere under stones.... Why should the monument be so much more enduring than the fame which it is designed to perpetuate,—a stone to a bone? “Here lies,”M”Here lies”;Mwhy do they not sometimes write, There rises? Is it a monument to the body only that is intended?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Making it, making it,
in their chosen field
the roses fall
victim to a weakness of the heart.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
