Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “She lived in storm and strife,
    Her soul had such desire
    For what proud death may bring
    That it could not endure
    The common good of life....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The One remains, the many change and pass;
    Heaven’s light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly;
    Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
    Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
    Until Death tramples it to fragments.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “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)
