Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To havet expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“If thou art rich, thourt poor,
For like an ass, whose back with ingots bows,
Thou bearst thy heavy riches but a journey,
And death unloads thee.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Now they heap the funeral pyre,
And the torch of death they light;
Ah! tis hard to die by fire!”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (18111863)
