| | Thanatopsis: My View On Life And Death |
 | | Thou shalt lie down with patriarchs of the infant world- with kings, the powerful of the earth- the wise, the good, fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, all in one mighty sepulcher”(Bryant 153). |
 | | In lines 31 through 37 of Thanatopsis, as quoted above, Bryant says that when a deceased one lays down into his or her eternal resting place they could never imagine such a wonderful place to lay down forever. |
 | | He continues to say, as he does in the rest of the poem, that one’s eternal resting place could never have been thought of as such a wonderful place that one could love so much. |
