Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“I was not at all shocked with this execution at the time. John died seemingly without much pain. He was effectually hanged, the rope having fixed upon his neck very firmly, and he was allowed to hang near three quarters of an hour; so that any attempt to recover him would have been in vain. I comforted myself in thinking that by giving up the scheme I had avoided much anxiety and uneasiness.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)

“Yet
Ere the season died a-cold
Borne upon a zephyr’s shoulder
Irose through the aureate sky”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“I died for Beauty—but was scarce
Adjusted in the Tomb
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
