And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.”

- “King Henry” from “King Henry IV Part 2”, by William Shakespeare, Act III, scene i- "Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light;
Good night, dear heart, good-night, good-night.”

- from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, by Douglas Adams- “I have made all sorts of acquaintances, but have as yet found no society.
