Died August

Famous quotes containing the words died and/or august:

“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 hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
