Violent Death

Famous quotes containing the words violent death, violent and/or death:

    When love grows diseased, the best thing we can do is to put it to a violent death; I cannot endure the torture of a lingering and consumptive passion.
    George Etherege (1635–1691)

    The People’s violent Love and Hate;
    One in extreames lov’d and abhor’d.
    Riddles lie here; or in a word,
    Here lies Blood; and let it lie
    Speechlesse still, and never crie.
    John Cleveland (1613–1658)

    So he with difficulty and labour hard
    Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
    But he once passed, soon after when man fell,
    Strange alteration! Sin and Death amain
    Following his track, such was the will of Heaven,
    Paved after him a broad and beaten way
    Over the dark abyss, whose boiling gulf
    Tamely endured a bridge of wondrous length
    From hell continued reaching th’ utmost orb
    Of this frail world;
    John Milton (1608–1674)
