Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

    I died for Beauty—but was scarce
    Adjusted in the Tomb
    When One who died for Truth, was lain
    In an adjoining Room—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    When he was a little boy
    Jesus was good all the time.
    No wonder that he grew up to be such a big shot
    who could forgive people so much.
    When he died everyone was mean.
    Later on he rose when no one else was looking.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
    The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
    Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
    Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
    Great nations blossom above,
    A slave bows down to a slave.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
