Finality Of Death

“

Though they washed her with wine
and rubbed her with butter
it was to no avail.
She lay as still as a gold piece.

Anne Sexton

“

Death loves a shining mark, a signal blow.

Edward Young

“

So we keep asking, over and over,
Until a handful of earth
Stops our mouths—
But is that an answer?

Heinrich Heine

“

Oblivioni sacrum [Sacred to oblivion].

John Marston

“

Far off from these a slow and silent stream,
Lethe the river of oblivion rolls.

John Milton

The iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy, and deals with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetuity.

Sir Thomas Browne

“

He said, “What’s time? Leave Now for dogs and apes!
Man has Forever.”

Robert Browning
