Famous quotes containing the words death and/or island:
“Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?”

And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
