The Dead to ride fast with Dracula standing on the grave. Unfortunately, I must confess that I've never read Dracula. By documentation, I came across the following poem. I like the sentence "The dead travel fast" special.
Lenore by Gottfried August Bürger (1774)
Lenore drove around the dawn
rise from heavy dreams: Are
"unfaithful, William, or dead? ?
How long will you line "-
He was with King Frederick
power drawn into the battle of Prague,
And had it not written, whether he
remained healthy.
The King and the Empress of the long strife
tired
softened its hard sense
And finally made peace;
And each camp, with singing and song, with
bang and Kling and sound,
Geschmü ; Something with green veins,
went home to their houses.
And everywhere all around,
on ways and bridges, old and young
Zog the cheers sound
The coming meet.
Thank God! cried his wife and child loudly
Welcome! many a happy bride.
Oh! But for Lenore
War greeting and Kiss lost.

And took her in his arms. -

" O mother! What is happiness?
O mother! What is hell?
For him, happiness is with him! And without
