Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
Great nations blossom above,
A slave bows down to a slave.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Each of us like you
has died once,
each of us like you
stands apart, like you
fit to be worshipped.”

“We died like aunts of pets or foreigners.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
