Famous quotes containing the word death:

    This death was his belief though death is a stone.
    This man loved earth, not heaven, enough to die.

    O mortal folk, you may behold and see
    How I lie here, sometime a mighty knight;
    The end of joy and all prosperity
    Is death at last, thorough his course and might;
    Stephen Hawes (1474–1528)

    Life folded Death; Death trellised Life; the grim god wived with youthful Life, and begat him curly-headed glories.
