"Hail, solitary ruins! holy sepulchres, and silent walls! you I invoke; to you I address my prayer. While your aspect averts, with secret terror, the vulgar regard, it excites in my heart the charm of delicious sentiments--sublime contemplations."--The Ruins, or, Meditation on the Revolutions of Empires and the Law of Nature (1791) by Volney |

Sepulchre
A sepulchre, or sepulcher, is a type of tomb or burial chamber. In ancient Hebrew practice, sepulchres were often carved into the rock of a hillside.
The word is sometimes confused with "sepulture", the act of burying a dead person.
