“The realm of death seems an enemy's country to most men, on whose shores they are loathly driven by stress of weather; to the wise man it is the desired port where he moors his bark gladly, as in some quiet haven of the Fortunate Isles; it is the golden west into which his sun sinks, and, sinking, casts back a glory upon the leaden cloud-tack which had darkly besieged his day.” MenCountrySeemsDeathEnemySunWiseHavensQuietGloryStressWestCloudsCastsDrivenWeatherGoldenFortunateRealmsShorePortBarkSinkingIsleMoors Book:Conversations on Some of the Old Poets Source: Conversations on Some of the Old Poets
“Among the poor, the approach of dissolution is usually regarded with a quiet and natural composure, which it is consolatory to contemplate, and which is as far removed from the dead palsy of unbelief as it is from the delirious raptures of fanaticism. Theirs is a true, unhesitating faith, and they are willing to lay down the burden of e weary life, in the sure and certain hope of a blessed immortality.” DeathCertainNaturalPoorWillingQuietApproachBlessedLaysBurdenImmortalityContemplatingWearyFanaticismRaptureUnbeliefDissolutionComposureDelirious Author:Robert Southey
“Our respect for the dead, when they are just dead, is something wonderful, and the way we show it more wonderful still. We show it with black feathers and black horses; we show it with black dresses and black heraldries; we show it with costly obelisks and sculptures of sorrow, which spoil half of our beautiful cathedrals. We show it with frightful gratings and vaults, and lids of dismal stone, in the midst of the quiet grass; and last, and not least, we show it by permitting ourselves to tell any number of falsehoods we think amiable or credible in the epitaph.” ThinkingWayStillsShowsLastsBeautifulDeathBlackNumbersHalfWonderfulSorrowQuietStonesHorseDressesGrassMidstFalsehoodSculptureFeathersSpoilCathedralsCredibleEpitaphAmiableVaults Book:Works Source: Works
