Died

Famous quotes containing the word died:

“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)

“You’ve got a job to do. You’ve gotta sing on Smith.... You’ve gotta finish the job for Tolly! Or he died for nothing!”
—Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)

“these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?

He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
