Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “That piecemeal peace is poor peace. What pure peace allows
    Alarms of wars, the daunting wars, the death of it?”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “For in the word death
    There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
    Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
    In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
    Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
    The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
    Breaks. The harrow of death
    Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
    And in the heavens write your glorious name.
    Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
    Our love shall live, and later life renew.”
    —Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
