Famous quotes containing the words years and/or death:
“A few more years will destroy whatever yet remains of that magical potency which once belonged to the name of Byron.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“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.”
—Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 19–22)
