Famous quotes containing the word death:

    I thought of all that worked dark pits
    Of war, and died
    Digging the rock where Death reputes
    Peace lies indeed.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
    And Death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die!
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    How I envy you death;
    what could death bring,
    more black, more set with sparks
    to slay, to affright,
    than the memory of those first violets.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
