Zygmunt Krasiński - Painting the sensual with thy hues...
Painting the sensual with thy hues divine,- Thou turn'st away thy face, while scattering Perchance upon his brow some fading flowers, Of which he strives to twine a funeral crown, Spending his life to weave a wreath of death! (Zygmunt Krasiński)

Painting the sensual with thy hues divine,- Thou turn'st away thy face, while scattering Perchance upon his brow some fading flowers, Of which he strives to twine a funeral crown, Spending his life to weave a wreath of death!

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. View quote
John Donne
The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself. View quote
Norman Cousins
Little Fly, Thy summers play My thoughtless hand Has brushed away. Am I not like thee Or art not thou A man like Me For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. View quote
William Blake
Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation, the world, supplied the first model, while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals, but like God Himself, if I may venture to say it. View quote
Giorgio Vasari
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time. View quote
