First our pleasures die — and then
Our hopes, and then our fears — and when
These are dead, the debt is due,
Dust claims dust — and we die too.Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English poet
Poem (1820), “Death,” st. 3, Posthumous Poems (1824)More about this quote: wist.info/shelley-percy-bysshe…

A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay
I know what my heart is like
Since your love died:
It is like a hollow ledge
Holding a little pool
Left there by the tide,
A little tepid pool,
Drying inward from the edge.Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) American poet
“Ebb,” The Nation (UK), Vol. 27, No. 4 (1920-04-24)More info about this quote: wist.info/millay-edna-st-vince…
