Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    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)

    The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
    The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
    Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
    Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
    Great nations blossom above,
    A slave bows down to a slave.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And as she died so must we die ourselves,
    And thence ye may perceive the world’s a dream.
    Life, how and what is it?
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
