The beautiful uncut hair of graves.

Summary

This quote hints at the notion that untouched graves are seen as beautiful, perhaps due to the symbolism of life and the preservation of memory. The phrase "uncut hair" evokes the image of natural, flowing locks that have not been altered or touched by man. In the context of graves, this might suggest the purity and untouched nature of death, emphasizing the solemn and poetic beauty found within the final resting place of individuals. The quote may encourage reflection on the cycles of life and the inevitable journey towards mortality.
