Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“Beauty is but a flower,
Which wrinkles will devour;
Brightness falls from the air;
Queens have died young and fair;
Dust hath closed Helen’s eye.
I am sick, I must die.”

“I wish I were where Helen lies,
Night and day on me she cries;
And I am weary of the skies,
For her sake that died for me.”

“Daddy,” I died,
swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
and it won’t get out
it keeps knocking at my eyes,
my big orphan eyes....”
