Thomas Lynch Quotes
When We Bury The Old, We Bury The Known Past, The Past We Imagine Sometimes Better Than It Was, But The Past All The Same, A Portion Of Which We Inhabited. Memory Is The Overwhelming Theme, The Eventual Comfort. But Burying Infants, We Bury The Future, Unwieldy And Unknown, Full Of Promise And Possibilities, Outcomes Punctuated By Our Rosy Hopes. The Grief Has No Borders, No Limits, No Known Ends, And The Little Infant Graves That Edge The Corners And Fencerows Of Every Cemetery Are Never Quite Big Enough To Contain That Grief. Some Sadnesses Are Permanent. Dead Babies Do Not Give Us Memories. They Give Us Dreams.
