Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
    And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
    Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,
    Showed me its feet, the feet of many men,
    And the fresh-severed head of it, my head.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay?
    Repair me now, for now mine end doth haste;
    I run to death, and death meets me as fast,
    And all my pleasures are like yesterday.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “Why wait for Death to mow?
    why wait for Death to sow
    us in the ground?”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
