Later Life
Buck ended up living long enough to enjoy freedom again after his release from prison. He eventually died in 1915 of natural causes, unlike his brothers, all of whom all died violent deaths. The lawmen who protected the citizens of Middletown breathed more easily thereafter, because law and order were easier to maintain after the passing of Buck.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other. Both are neurotic scoundrels, yet there is a green lane in Paradise where Humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but Hell shall never parole Hermann.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Surely among a rich man’s flowering lawns,
Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
Life overflows without ambitious pains;
And rains down life until the basin spills,
And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
As though to choose whatever shape it wills....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
