    Two quotes which are driving me nuts. They are both from English or Irish authors.

    1. Who wrote? :

    " We finally went into pigs, immediately before the bottom fell out of the market".

    I thought it was Robert Graves; then P G Wodehouse , but I simply cannot locate the quote in any on line database.

    2. This may not be a direct quote, but the question is:

    Who, when conducting an autopsy, exclaimed : " The heart has gone".

    The nearest I have got is perhaps two poems by John Donne: either The Dampe or The Legacy where he refers to examining his heart etc , but somehow neither seems to fit the bill.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    The answer to the quote about the pigs is from "Timing the Pigs" by the Irish author Bernard O' Donoghue.

    The man who discovered the corpse had no heart is from "The Blue Afternoon" by William Boyd and his name is Salvador Corriscant.

    sorry i tried searchign for it.. but with no any results..
    but can the second quote be in a movie quote.. sounds more like what we see in movies.. THE HEART HAS GONE.... why not CSI ( just a guess )
    "He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
    He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
    It happened calmly, on its own,
    The way the night comes when day is done."
