are “My last Duchess” by Robert Browning and “And you as well must die” by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Both poems talk about the death of someone or something is inevitable. “My last Duchess” does this by having the Duke justify to himself that the death of the Duchess was inevitable.

Brym recounts his childhood absence of death until the age of fifteen, at which point the deniability of death was introduced to him.
