![“Death Be Not Proud Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy picture[s] be, Much pleasure, then from thee much…” quote by John Donne](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1a3/john-donne-933_death_death-be-not-proud-death-be-not-proud-th_814925.jpg)
