Death Trip

Famous quotes containing the words death and/or trip:

“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

“And now that the end is near
The segments of the trip swing open like an orange.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
