Dead

Famous quotes containing the word dead:

“I am dead against art’s being self-expression. I see an inherent failure in any story which fails to detach itself from the author—detach itself in the sense that a well-blown soap-bubble detaches itself from the bowl of the blower’s pipe and spherically takes off into the air as a new, whole, pure, iridescent world. Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowl’s lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone,
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
