Famous quotes containing the word death:

    How I envy you death;
    what could death bring,
    more black, more set with sparks
    to slay, to affright,
    than the memory of those first violets.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I knew the poor,
    I knew the hideous death they die,
    when famine lays its bleak hand on the door;
    I knew the rich,
    sated with merriment,
    who yet are sad.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    This morning men deliver wounds and death.
    They will deliver death and wounds tomorrow.
    And I doubt all. You. Or a violet.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
