Brother Death

Famous quotes containing the words brother and/or death:

    What poet would not grieve to see
    His brother write as well as he?
    But rather than they should excel,
    He’d wish his rivals all in Hell.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    She lived in storm and strife,
    Her soul had such desire
    For what proud death may bring
    That it could not endure
    The common good of life....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
