Quote by Ray Bradbury

“Moundshroud is the name. Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud. Does that have a ring, boys? Does it sound for you?" It sounds, the boys thought, oh, oh, it sounds...! Moundshroud. "A fine name," said Mr. Moundshroud, giving it a full sepulchral night-church sound. "And a fine night. And all the deep dark wild long history of Halloween waiting to swallow us whole!”
