Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Life folded Death; Death trellised Life; the grim god wived with youthful Life, and begat him curly-headed glories.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
    Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste
    Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
    With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
    Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
    Sing Heav’nly Muse, that on the secret top
    Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
    That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
    In the Beginning how the Heav’ns and Earth
    Rose out of Chaos:
    John Milton (1608–1674)
