Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    He weren’t no saint—but at Jedgment
    I’d run my chance with Jim,
    ‘Longside of some pious gentlemen
    That wouldn’t shook hands with him.
    He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing,—
    And went for it, thar an’ then:
    And Christ ain’t a-goin’ to be too hard
    On a man that died for me.
    John Milton Hay (1838–1905)

    They said, “Here are the maps”; we burned the cities.
    It was not dying—no, not ever dying;
    But the night I died I dreamed that I was dead,
    And the cities said to me: “Why are you dying?
    We are satisfied, if you are; but why did I die?”
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    I died before bedtime came
    But my womb was bellowing
    And I felt with my bare fall
    A blazing red harsh head tear up
    And the dear floods of his hair.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
