  • Uncorseted, her friendly bust Gives promise of pneumatic bliss.

    -T(homas) S(tearns) Eliot

  • Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Or Flattery soothe the dull cold ear of Death?

    -Thomas Gray
    Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, l.41^4.
