Dust to Dust



        Dust to the dust: but the pure spirit shall flow
    Back to the burning fountain whence he came,
        A portion of the Eternal, which must glow
    Through time and change, unquenchably the same,
Whilst thy cold embers choke the sordid hearth of shame.

-Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822),
Adonais
