-The Devil's Dictionary-Ambrose Bierce

[sicklygothgirl]

 " -Funeral, n. A pageant whereby we attest our respect for the dead by enriching the undertaker, and strengthen our grief by an expenditure that deepens our groans and doubles our tears.
   The savage dies-they sacrifice a horse
   To bear to happy hunting-grounds the corse.
   Our friends expire-we make the money fly
   In hope their souls will chase it to the sky.
                                                    Jex Wopley."
