John Donne
Image
When I died last, and, Dear, I die As often as from thee I go Though it be but an hour ago, And lovers' hours be full eternity.
John Donne

The rich have no more of the kingdom of heaven than they have purchased of the poor by their alms.
John Donne
Image
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
John Donne

John Donne
Image
As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
John Donne
