About This Quote

Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.” is a famous poem written by Maya Angelou. The poem emphasizes on the fact that death has no color and it happens to everyone. It comes as a shock and we don’t expect it to happen at all. Death is something we realize but we cannot feel it.
