The leaves might bestrew him, and the soil gradually accumulate and form a little hillock over his frame, no matter whether there were life in it or no. Death was too definite an object to be wished for or avoided. Nathaniel Hawthorne

It will be scattering curses abroad in the likeness of holy symbols! Nathaniel Hawthorne
