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 (1591–1674)
“The Sweeping up the Heart
And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

Who on a tilting deck sings
To keep men’s courage up, though the wake hangs
That shall cut off their sun.”
