Laus Deo, Sydney Dobell "'He is not dead, but sleepeth,' said the Priest, and smooth'd his brow. 'Sleepeth?' said she, looking up, and the sun rose in her face! 'He must be better than I thought, for the sleep is very sound.'"
The Premature Burial, Edgar Allan Poe "In fact, I no longer dared trust myself out of the immediate presence of those who were aware of my proneness to catalepsy, lest, falling into one of my usual fits, I should be buried before my real condition could be ascertained. I entered into a series of elaborate precautions. Among other things, I had the family vault so remodelled as to admit of being readily opened from within."
