Famous quotes containing the word death:
“And yet the sun pardons our voices still,
And berries in the hedge
Through all the nights of rain have come to the full,
And death seems like long hills, a range
We ride each day towards, and never reach.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

That his True Love doth stay,
If Death should come and meet him,
Love will find out the way!”

“Young lover to old lover: I do not feel death in your embrace, but the adoration of the patriarchs.”
