“Among the poor, the approach of dissolution is usually regarded with a quiet and natural composure, which it is consolatory to contemplate, and which is as far removed from the dead palsy of unbelief as it is from the delirious raptures of fanaticism. Theirs is a true, unhesitating faith, and they are willing to lay down the burden of e weary life, in the sure and certain hope of a blessed immortality.” DeathCertainNaturalPoorWillingQuietApproachBlessedLaysBurdenImmortalityContemplatingWearyFanaticismRaptureUnbeliefDissolutionComposureDelirious Author:Robert Southey
“death ... so seldom happens nowadays in the awesome quiet of a familiar chamber. Most of us die violently, thanks to the advance of science and warfare. If by chance we are meant to end life in our beds, we are whisked like pox victims to the nearest hospital, where we are kept as alone and unaware as possible of the approach of disintegration.” IfsEndsHappensDiesChanceDyingBedQuietApproachVictimFamiliarThanksHospitalsWarfareChamberDisintegrationPox Author:M.

“I find confidence seductive. Confidence, to me, is being happy in your own identity and not being influenced by others. I find that quite seductive because I'm a 50-50 person: in some ways I'm confident, and in some ways I'm quiet, reclusive. [I] like someone who can shake me out of that and approach me.” WayPersonsIdentityQuietApproachShakesSeductive Author:Theo James
“Soft you day, be velvet soft, My true love approaches, Look you bright, you dusty sun, Array your golden coaches. Soft you wind, be soft as silk My true love is speaking. Hold you birds, your silver throats, His golden voice I'm seeking. Come you death, in haste, do come My shroud of black be weaving, Quiet my heart, be deathly quiet, My true love is leaving.” LooksHeartBlackVoiceLove IsSunWindMy HeartQuietApproachBirdLeavingSeekingCoachesGoldenSilverThroatHasteSilkVelvetTrue Love IsWeavingShroudsMy True Love Book:The Complete Poetry Source: The Complete Poetry
