Big Death

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or death:

    “We have no prairies
    To slice a big sun at evening—
    Everywhere the eye concedes to
    Encroaching horizon,
    Is wooed into the cyclops’ eye
    Of a tarn.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “Hunger shall make thy modest zone
    And cheat fond death of all but bone—”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
