We were researching what the night contains and shouldn't have been surprised to discover sheet ghosts.  Do you agree that it is sheets ghosts who, in the final lines here, billow down lanes at dusk, like a mist of bleached portraits that don't exist, "who walk like a shivering laundry of shifted humanity"?  From The Force by Peter Redgrove, 1966.  See Of Feeding & Caring For Sheet Ghosts.

"Nobody knows just when he's going to walk in front of an automobile, or entertain a house party of nice, husky, vicious, little disease germs."  From Wadco News, 1922.

"There's no death like it!  How would you rather kick the bucket -- slowly fading out of the world in a fog of arteriosclerosis and senility in some two-bit nursing home ... or disintegating instantly in a glorious hail of bullets?  Choking on mashed turnips at the age of 93 ... or getting detonated into heaven by a magnificent explosion of TNT?  Think about it."  From The Getaway, 1982.
