Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Of Heaven of Hell I have no power to sing,
    I cannot ease the burden of your fears,
    Or make quick-coming death a little thing,
    Or bring again the pleasure of past years,”
    —William Morris (1834–1896)

    “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)

    “Now they heap the funeral pyre,
    And the torch of death they light;
    Ah! ‘tis hard to die by fire!”
    —William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
