Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    I died for Beauty—but was scarce
    Adjusted in the Tomb
    When One who died for Truth, was lain
    In an adjoining Room—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
    He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
    Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
    That made him preach the louder, long for a church
    In which his voice would roll its cadences,
    After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    —I tell the tale that I heard told.
    Mithridates, he died old.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
