Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
    Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste
    Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
    With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
    Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
    Sing Heav’nly Muse, that on the secret top
    Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
    That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
    In the Beginning how the Heav’ns and Earth
    Rose out of Chaos:”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “It is not love you will find:
    You have no limbs
    Crying for stillness, you have no mind
    Trembling with seraphim,
    You have no death to come.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

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