Deathless

Famous quotes containing the word deathless:

    His hope is treacherous only whose love dies
    With beauty, which is varying every hour;
    But, in chaste hearts uninfluenced by the power
    Of outward change, there blooms a deathless flower,
    That breathes on earth the air of paradise.
    Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)

    Flame burns, rain sinks into the cracks
    And they all go to rack ruin beneath the thud of the years,
    Stands genius a deathless adornment,
    a name not to be worn out with the years.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    A Sonnet is a moment’s monument,—
    Memorial from the Soul’s eternity
    To one dead deathless hour.
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
