Persons Dead

Famous quotes containing the words persons and/or dead:

    Swans sing before they die—’twere no bad thing
    Should certain persons die before they sing.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take
    And stab my spirit broad awake;
    Or, Lord, if too obdurate I,
    Choose thou, before that spirit die,
    A piercing pain, a killing sin,
    And to my dead heart run them in!
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
