That all-softening, overpowering knell.
The tocsin of the soul - the dinner bell. [ Byron ]

And thou art terrible - the tear,
The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier;
And ail we know, or dream, or fear
Of agony, are thine. [ Halleck ]

A moment's thought is passion's passing knell. [ Keats ]

Laughter is sometimes the knell of a dead illusion. [ De Finod ]

The knell, the shroud, the mattock, and the grave, the deep, damp vault, the darkness and tbe worm. [ Young ]

Sorrow, like a heavy ringing bell, once set on ringing, with its own weight goes; then little strength rings out the doleful knell. [ William Shakespeare ]
