Famous quotes containing the words death and/or row:
“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.... Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“Row after row with strict impunity
The headstones yield their names to the element,
The wind whirrs without recollection....”
