Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Abba, dark death is the breaking of a glass.
    The dazzled flakes and splinters disappear.
    The seal is as relaxed as dirt, perdu.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Because you live, O Christ,
    the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
    our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
    The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
    O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!”
    —Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)

    “For God was as large as a sunlamp and laughed his heat at us and therefore we did not cringe at the death hole.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
