Letter "S" » sarcophagus
«The building is a national tragedy - a cross between a concrete candy box and a marble sarcophagus in which the art of architecture lies buried.»
«We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us, loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe, yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!»
