I would rather sleep in the southern corner of a little country churchyard, than in the tombs of the Capulets.

Letter to Matthew SmithEdmund Burke
In my sleep, which is the song of the tombs, I have just seen her again, as beautiful as in her youth.
Albert Cohen
When Abraham Lincoln was shoveled into
the tombs, he forgot the copperheads and
the assassin... in the dust, in the cool tombs.Carl Sandburg
Though I was satisfied that I was on the verge of perhaps a magnificent find, probably one of the missing tombs that I had been seeking for many years, I was much puzzled by the smallness of the opening in comparison with those of other royal tombs in the valley.
Howard Carter
Southern man better keep your head.
Don't forget what your good book said.
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast.
Southern man.Neil Young
So the baby was carried in a small deal box, under an ancient woman's shawl, to the churchyard that night, and buried by lantern-light, at the cost of a shilling and a pint of beer to the sexton, in that shabby corner of God's allotment where He lets the nettles grow, and where all unbaptized infants, notorious drunkards, suicides, and others of the conjecturally damned are laid.
