William Cooke Died

Famous quotes containing the words cooke and/or died:

    We have found that morals are not, like bacon, to be cured by hanging; nor, like wine, to be improved by sea voyages; nor, like honey, to be preserved in cells.
    —William Cooke Taylor (1800–1849)

    Honour came to me,
    though I sought it not;
    I died at mid-day, sleeping;
    They did not see the reach of purple-wing
    that lifted me out of the little room.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
