Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

“Here lies interred in the eternity of the past, from whence there is no resurrection for the days—whatever there may be for the dust—the thirty-third year of an ill-spent life, which, after a lingering disease of many months sank into a lethargy, and expired, January 22d, 1821, A.D. leaving a successor inconsolable for the very loss which occasioned its existence.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“And she, after swan-like singing her last and dying song, lies beside him, her lover.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

“For she lies panting,
drawing sharp breath,
broken with harsh sobs,
she, Hyella,
whom no god pities.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
