George Sewell - From the Fame category:
- b1690 d.1736... Vain empty words / Of honour, glory and immortal fame, / Can these recall the spirit from its place, / Or re-inspire the breathless clay with life? / What tho' your fame with all its thousand trumpets, / Sound o'er the sepulchres, will that awake / The sleeping dead. (George Sewell)

George Sewell - From the Immortality category:
