To quote a poem.
A Thought on Death: November, 1814
by Anna Lætitia Barbauld

When life as opening buds is sweet,
And golden hopes the fancy greet,
And Youth prepares his joys to meet,–
Alas! how hard it is to die!

When just is seized some valued prize,
And duties press, and tender ties
Forbid the soul from earth to rise,–
How awful then it is to die!

When, one by one, those ties are torn,
And friend from friend is snatched forlorn,
And man is left alone to mourn,–
Ah then, how easy ’tis to die!

When faith is firm, and conscience clear,
And words of peace the spirit cheer,
And visioned glories half appear,–
‘Tis joy, ’tis triumph then to die.

When trembling limbs refuse their weight,
And films, slow gathering, dim the sight,
And clouds obscure the mental light,–
‘Tis nature’s precious boon to die.

“If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster”

“Do not pass by my epitaph, traveler.
But having stopped, listen and learn, then go your way.
There is no boat in Hades, no ferryman Charon,
No caretaker Aiakos, no dog Cerberus.
All we who are dead below
Have become bones and ashes, but nothing else.
I have spoken to you honestly, go on, traveler,
Lest even while dead I seem loquacious to you”
Roman Tombstone

“Birth, life, and death — each took place on the hidden side of a leaf”
Toni Morrison

And spent my little life without a thought,
And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,
Should think of me, who never thought of him”
René Francois Regnier

He kindly stopped for me.
The Carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality”
