Corpse-paths
Now it is the time of night
When the graves all open wide
Every one lets for its sprite
In the church-way paths to glide
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, Sc. 3
Corpse-paths
Wm. Self. Weeks. "Public Right of Way Believed
to Be Created by the Passage of a
Corpse." Folklore (1928): 393-398.
Corpse-paths
“Some of our mountain hamlets are far
from the parish church, which has
given rise to the “corpse road,” which
goes straight a lance to the village
centre … But the official who dared to
meddle with the corpse road, even
though it might not be sued once in
twenty years, was in for dire trouble”.
