Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “The death of Satan was a tragedy
    For the imagination.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “hung up like a pig on exhibit,
    the delicate wrists,
    the beard drooling blood and vinegar;
    hooked to your own weight,
    jolting toward death under your nameplate.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I never can hear a crowd of people singing and gesticulating, all together, at an Italian opera, without fancying myself at Athens, listening to that particular tragedy, by Sophocles, in which he introduces a full chorus of turkeys, who set about bewailing the death of Meleager.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
