Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“Had I but died an hour before this chance,
I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
There’s nothing serious in mortality.
All is but toys; renown and grace is dead,
The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
Is left this vault to brag of.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“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)

“Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid
sorrow from mine eyes.
Why died I not from the womb?”
—Bible: Hebrew Job (l. III, 10–11)
