Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    But when his horse had put its hoof
    Into a rabbit hole
    He dropped upon his head and died.
    His lady saw it all
    And dropped and died thereon, for she
    Loved him with her soul.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Had I but died an hour before this chance
    I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
    There’s nothing serious in mortality.
    All is but toys. Renown and grace is dead;
    The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
    Is left this vault to brag of.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Honour came to me,
    though I sought it not;
    I died at mid-day, sleeping;
    They did not see the reach of purple-wing
    that lifted me out of the little room.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
