Famous quotes containing the word death:
“if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.
As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:
To please both thy false heart, and rid myself from woe,
That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”

What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.”

Their life a general mist of error,
Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
