Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Dreams pursue death as winds a flying fire,
    Our dreams pursue our dead and do not find.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Yet the wound, O see the wound
    This petrified heart has taken,
    Because, created deathless,
    Nothing but death remained
    To scatter magnificence....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Two graves must hide thine and my corse;
    If one might, death were no divorce.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
