   (Can we find and add a quotation of Sir Thomas Browne to this entry?) "... The Stoicks who thought the souls of wise men had their habitation about the moon, might make slight account of subterraneous deposition; whereas the Pythagoreans and transcorporating Philosophers, who were to be often buried, held great care of their enterrment." —Sir Thomas Browne, Hydriotaphia, Urne-Buriall
