I shall lie folded like a saint, Lapped in a scented linen sheet, On a bedspread striped with bright-blue paint, Narrow and cold and neat. The midnight will be glassy black Behind the panes, with wind about To set his mouth against a crack And blow the candle out. - Elinor Holt Wylie, Prophecy Draw rein, draw breath, Cast a cold eye On life, on death. Horseman, pass by! - William Butler Yeats O what fine thought we had because we thought that the worst rogues and rascals had died out. - William Butler Yeats Death wounds to cure: we fall; we rise; we reign!

Deaths stand like Mercurys, in every way, And kindly point us to our journey's end. - Edward Young Men drop so fast, ere life's mid stage we tread, Few know so many friends alive, as dead. - Edward Young, Love of Fame (l. 97) Insatiate archer! could not one suffice? Thy shaft flew thrice; and thrice my peace was slain! - Edward Young, Night Thoughts (night I, l. 212) Who can take Death's portrait?
