Salka Viertel - Death

Famous quotes containing the word death:

“Tear out the close vermiculate crease
Where death crawled angrily at bay.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
