“'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world”
William Shakespeare
“A young doctor brings a green churchyard.”
French Proverb
“At the great iron gate of the churchyard he stopped and looked in. He looked up at the high tower spectrally resisting the wind, and he looked round at the white tombstones, like enough to the dead in their winding-sheets, and he counted the nine tolls of the clock-bell.”
Charles Dickens
“Raw cucumber makes the churchyards prosperous”
English Proverb
“It is a sensation not experienced by many mortals, said he, "to be looking into a churchyard on a wild windy night, and to feel that I no more hold a place among the living than these dead do, and even to know that I lie buried somewhere else, as they lie buried here. Nothing uses me to it. A spirit that was once a man could hardly feel stranger or lonelier, going unrecognized among mankind, than I feel."”
“Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.”
Philip Massinger
