To be dead was a state which played odd tricks on dreams of vengeance.
Death's Master (1979)
Resist. Come, you’re tough enough, my lady, aren’t you, if you beg for death rather than inflict evil?
The Castle of Dark (1978)
Far too soon a man is in his grave, and how small are the hurricanes and mountains of his life—vengeance, love, might, and conquest—compared to that tiny heap of bone dust at its end.
Quest for the White Witch (1978)
Sickness, the serpent, is coming to bite you,
Death, the old dark man, is coming to carry you off,
Rest uneasy, you stinking carrion, on your gold beds.
The Birthgrave (1975)
