The world-wide anthropomorphic tendency to construct tombs for the gods and for the dead after the plan of earthly dwellings is as evident in the excavations at mycenae as in ancient Egypt and in Celtic lands.
"The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries"
W. Y. Evans Wentz

Gerald Allan Sohl

Honore de Balzac
