Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “‘Lay me a green sod under my head,
    And another at my feet;
    And lay my bent bow at my side,
    Which was my music sweet;
    And make my grave of gravel and green,
    Which is most right and meet.”
    —Unknown. Robin Hood’s Death (l. 65–70)

    Their life a general mist of error,
    Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
    —John Webster (c. 1580–1638)
