Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“Honour came to me,
though I sought it not;

They did not see the reach of purple-wing
that lifted me out of the little room.”

“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)

“The poor world is almost six thousand years old, and in all this time there was not any man died in his own person,
videlicet, in a love-cause.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
