Famous quotes containing the word died:
“When he was a little boy
Jesus was good all the time.
No wonder that he grew up to be such a big shot
who could forgive people so much.
When he died everyone was mean.
Later on he rose when no one else was looking.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“Beauty is but a flower,
Which wrinkles will devour;
Brightness falls from the air;
Queens have died young and fair;
Dust hath closed Helens eye.
I am sick, I must die.”
—Thomas Nashe (15671601)
“Honour came to me,
though I sought it not;
I died at mid-day, sleeping;
They did not see the reach of purple-wing
that lifted me out of the little room.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
