Famous quotes containing the words tomb, sweeping and/or day:
“Laid out for death, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and moss-work for to cover me:
And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is.”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)

And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity.”

each with a splendor
which man in all his vileness cannot
set aside; each with an excellence!”
