Famous Last Words

[Eman Baghlaf]

Death does indeed comes to us all, and it is literally the last thing w all will do. The high and mighty , the rich and famous , and the great and the good , the best and the worst of the human race ,one and all –each and every one of us will surly turn to dust . The dying words and the significant utterances of the famous might not seem to be the cheery of subjects to investigate. Nonetheless, they can tell us about how they feel and what they think at their last moments of departing this world . It is really worth exploring what those famous people where thinking about while death. Some expressed strong feelings to their country, others showed their connection to God and felt guilty and sinful. However, some just had weird silly feelings while they were dying . Final Quotations – Literary Figures I see the black light -Victor Hugo , French poet and novelist . He was exiled when a monarchy of sorts was restored in France following Napoleon Bonaparte's exile . I have struggled with many difficulties. Some I have been able to overcome and by some I have been overcome. I have made many mistakes but I love my country and have labored for the youth of my country , and I trust no precept of mine has taught any dear youth to sin . -Daniel Webster, American lexicographer, after whom the famous dictionary is named . Sister you are trying to keep me alive as an old curiosity, but I'm done , I'm finished. I'm going to die . -George Bernard Show, Irish playwright, man of letter and advocate of social reform . Either that wallpaper goes , or I do . -last words of Oscar Wilde, Irish wit and dramatist , as he lay languished in a drab Parisian hotel room . On the ground ! - Charles Dickens , who died of a stroke while still a relatively young man-his friends were struggling to get him on to the sofa after he has collapsed at dinner . Tell them I have a great pain in the left side . - George Eliot Fading into the Sunset-Great Artists I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have . - Last words of Leonardo da Vinci, artist, inventor, and all-round "Renaissance man" You are wrong not to marry. it's useful . -Pablo Picasso, Spanish born giant of the 20th century art. He was addressing these words to his doctor, a bachelor, while holding out his hand to his second wife . Wonderful, wonderful, this death ! -William Etty , English painter . If I had strength to hold a pen, I would write down how easy and a pleasant thing it is to die . -Dr. William Hunter, Scottish anatomist and art collector . I hope with all my heart there will be painting in heaven . - Jean Baptiste, French painter . I live alone and miserable, tapped as marrow under the bark of the tree. My voice is like a wasp caught in a bag of skin bones. My teeth shake and rattle like the keys of a musical instrument. My face is scarecrow. My ears never cease to buzz. In one of them , a spider weaves its webs, in the other one , a cricket sings all night long. My rattling catarrh won't let me sleep. This is the state where art led me ,after granting me glory. Poor , old, beaten, I will be reduced to nothing, if death doesn't come swiftly to my rescue. Pains have quartered me ,torn me, broken me and death is the only inn awaiting me . - Michelangelo, not a deathbed utterance , but the thoughts of a dying man who continued to labor alone, at night, because the pain of sleeping was too much to bear
