Eric Dorman-Smith - Death

Famous quotes containing the word death:

“for it is not so much to know the self
as to know it as it is known
by galaxy and cedar cone,
as if birth had never found it

and death could never end it:”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

“When death comes too near, comedy and tragedy fall silent.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.
What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.”
