God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
John Donne

Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915 Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.
John Donne
Image
To be no part of any body, is to be nothing.
John Donne
Image
Oft from new truths, and new phrase, new doubts grow, As strange attire aliens the men we know.
John Donne

...Whatever dies was not mixed equally, If our two loves be one Or thou and I love so alike That none can slacken, none can die.
John Donne
Image
Men are sponges, which, to pour out, receive Who know false play, rather than lose, deceive. For in best understandings sin began, Angels sinn'd first, then devils, and then man. Only perchance beasts sin not wretched we Are beasts in all but white integrity.
John Donne

Licence my roving hands, and let them go Before, behind, between, above, below.
John Donne

John Donne
Image
I have done one braver thing than all the Worthies did, and yet a braver thence doth spring, which is, to keep that hid.
John Donne
Image
At the round earth's imagined corners, blow Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise From death, you numberless infinities Of souls **** All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Image
Enjoyment always has a spoiling, otherwise it cannot be so.
John Donne
Image
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Image
I shall not live 'till I see God and when I have seen Him, I shall never die.
John Donne
Image
The Phoenix riddle hath more wit By us, we two being one, are it. So to one neutral thing both sexes fit, We die and rise the same, and prove Mysterious by this love.
John Donne
Image
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death? Who ever got out of a winding sheet?
John Donne
Image
Never start with tomorrow to reach eternity. Eternity is not being reached by small steps.
John Donne
Image
I am two fools, I know, For loving, and for saying so.
John Donne
Image
Keep us, Lord, so awake in the duties of our calling that we may sleep in thy peace and wake in thy glory.
John Donne
