Famous quotes containing the words and after, death and and/or death:

    We look before and after,
    And pine for what is not:

    With some pain is fraught;
    Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

    I can only see death and more death, till we are black and swollen with death.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
