Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“I died before bedtime came
But my womb was bellowing
And I felt with my bare fall
A blazing red harsh head tear up
And the dear floods of his hair.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“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 (1886–1961)

“It is true, these Roman Catholics, priests and all, impress me as a people who have fallen far behind the significance of their symbols. It is as if an ox had strayed into a church and were trying to bethink himself. Nevertheless, they are capable of reverence; but we Yankees are a people in whom this sentiment has nearly died out, and in this respect we cannot bethink ourselves even as oxen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
