I looked Death right in the face.

Death has always had a prominent place in my mind. There are times when I think somebody might kill me.

Death always seems to be around me.

I don't like it when people don't look me dead in the eye. I move my head around trying to catch their eye.

I'm always on the verge of death in my head.

It's not the normal way to look at things but I experienced death at a really young age and because of that it's been part of my mental landscape that death is really very possible.

To die is as if one's eyes had been put out and one cannot see anything any more. Perhaps it is like being shut in a cellar. One is abandoned by all. They have slammed the door and are gone. One does not see anything and notices only the damp smell of putrefaction.

I've a great fancy to see my own funeral afore I die.

I just looked at him because I want to be looking in someone's eyes when I die.

Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
