.. In the chamber of death.. I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break, and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter-the Eternity they have entered-where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fullness.. One might doubt in seasons of cold reflection; but not then in the presence of her corpse. It asserted its own tranquility, which seemed a pledge of equal quiet to its former inhabitant. Anonymous
About This Quote

William Wordsworth’s famous poem, "The Daffodils," is a beautiful poem about death. It was written shortly after the death of his friend, William Lisle Bowles, in 1843. A year later, he wrote another wonderful poem about death, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.” It was written when Wordsworth was fifty-nine years old.
