Strona 10 - It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
Strona 8 - ... when death is in our thoughts, nothing can make amends for the want of the soothing influences of nature, and for the absence of those types of renovation and decay, which the fields and woods offer to the notice of the serious and contemplative mind.
Strona 11 - When self-esteem, or others' adulation, Would cunningly persuade us we were something Above the common level of our kind ; The grave gainsays the smooth-complexion'd flattery, And with blunt truth acquaints us what we are.
Strona 8 - The next is in his notes, where he talks of our "Monuments crowded together in the busy, etc., of a large town," as compared with the "still seclusion of a Turkish cemetery in some remote place.
Strona 8 - The grave should be surrounded by every thing that might inspire tenderness and veneration for the dead, or that might win the living to virtue.

Let us be careful, however, in our anxiety to escape from gloom and horror, not to run into the opposite extreme of meretricious gaudiness.
Strona 1 - The main object of a burial-ground is, the disposal of the remains of the dead in such manner as that their decomposition, and return to the earth from which they sprung, shall not prove injurious to the living; either by affecting their health, or shocking their feelings, opinions, or prejudices. A secondary object is, or ought to be, the improvement of the moral sentiments and general taste of all classes, and more especially of the great masses of society.
Strona 8 - By glimm'ring through thy low-brow'd misty vaults, (Furr'd round with mouldy damps, and ropy slime) Lets fall a supernumerary horror, And only serves to make thy night more irksome.
Strona 89 - ... narrow conical forms, such as the red cedar, and various pines and firs, are desirable. In advantageously situated cemeteries, some of the larger trees, such as the cedar of Lebanon, the oriental plane, the purple beech, the dark yew, and the flowering ash, sycamores, mountain ash, hollies, thorns, and some species of oaks, such as the evergreen oak, the Italian oak, with flowering trees and shrubs, would find places in due proportion.
Strona 8 - Shakes off her wonted firmness. Ah! how dark Thy long-extended realms, and rueful wastes, Where nought but silence reigns, and night, dark night...
Strona 21 - AUGUST, 1S43. 9 then will the necessity, as well as the propriety, of having a distinctive character for cemeteries be understood and appreciated. The planting of flowers in cemeteries is very general, not only in the margin of masses and belts, and in beds, as in pleasure-grounds, but on graves. For our own particular taste, we would have no flowers at all, nor any portion of ground within a cemetery that had the appearance of being dug or otherwise moved for the purpose of cultivation.
