Power Over Death

“

A little rule, a little sway,
A sunbeam in a winter’s day,
Is all the proud and mighty have
Between the cradle and the grave.

John Dyer

“

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,
For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

John Donne

“

O Julius Caesar! thou art mighty yet!
Thy spirit walks abroad, and turns our swords
In our own proper entrails.

William Shakespeare

And death shall have no dominion.

Dylan Thomas

“

Seven cities warr’d for Homer being dead,
Who living had no roof to shroud his head.

Thomas Heywood
