Famous quotes containing the words death and/or slept:

    A rat crept softly through the vegetation
    Dragging its slimy belly on the bank
    While I was fishing in the dull canal
    On a winter evening round behind the gashouse
    Musing upon the king my brother’s wreck
    And on the king my father’s death before him.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Thou who hast slept all night upon the storm,
    Waking renew’d on thy prodigious pinions,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
