Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To havet expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“Nor has his death the world deceivd
Less than his wondrous life surprizd;
For if he like a madman livd
At least he like a wise one dyd.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (15471616)
