    True, the rich spices, the perfumed woods, the fragrant oils, which would feed the sacred fire of my funeral pyre, would save my mortal remains from that corruption which makes the disgust of death even worse than its dread. A few odoriferous ashes alone would be left for my urn. 1832, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Heath's Book of Beauty, 1833, The Enchantress, page 20
