Edward Young Quote

While man is growing, life is in decrease;
And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb.
Our birth is nothing but our death begun.


Line 717. - Night-Thoughts (1742–1745) - Night V


While man is growing, life is in decrease; And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb. Our birth is nothing but our death begun.

While man is growing, life is in decrease; And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb. Our birth is nothing but our death begun.

While man is growing, life is in decrease; And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb. Our birth is nothing but our death begun.

While man is growing, life is in decrease; And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb. Our birth is nothing but our death begun.
