Famous quotes containing the word death:

    ‘Lay me a green sod under my head,
    And another at my feet;
    And lay my bent bow at my side,
    Which was my music sweet;
    And make my grave of gravel and green,
    Which is most right and meet.
    —Unknown. Robin Hood’s Death (l. 65–70)

    They are girls. Green girls.
    Death and life is their daily work.
    Death seams up and down the leaf.
    I call the leaves my death girls.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
