Famous quotes containing the word death:

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

    “And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
    And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
    Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,
    Showed me its feet, the feet of many men,
    And the fresh-severed head of it, my head.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “Ai! ai! we do worse! We are in a fix! And you’re out, Death let
    you out, Death had the Mercy, you’re done with your century, done with God, done with the path thru it—”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
