quotations about bones
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
The Tempest
Fair fall the bones that took the pains for me!
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
King John
Live, die, something else lives. The very soil humanity walks upon is built up from death. Digging into a flowerbed means digging into bones.
M. JONES
Frankie & Formaldehyde
Rattle his bones
over the stones
its only a pauper
who nobody owns
NEIL GAIMAN
The Graveyard Book
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones
ALICE IN CHAINS
"Them Bones", Dirt
He that gives thee a bone would not have thee die.
GEORGE HERBERT
