Unknown. The Unquiet Grave

Famous quotes containing the words unknown, unquiet and/or grave:

    By words, by voices, a lost way—
    And here above the chimney stack
    The unknown constellations sway—
    And by what way shall I go back?
    Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    In this world without quiet corners, there can be no easy escapes from history, from hullabaloo, from terrible, unquiet fuss.
    Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)

    Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
