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
Image
Tis true, 'tis day what though it be? O wilt thou therefore rise from me? Why should we rise, because 'tis light? Did we lie down, because 'twas night? Love which in spite of darkness brought us hither Should in despite of light keep us together.
John Donne
Image
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
John Donne
Image
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
John Donne
Image
How many times go we to comedies, to masques, to places of great and noble resort, nay even to church only to see the company.
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
Image
God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
John Donne
Image
Pleasure is none, if not diversified.
John Donne
Image
As God loves a cheerful giver, so he also loves a cheerful taker. Who takes hold of his gifts with a glad heart.
John Donne
Image
To a large degree, since the beginning of time, charisma or the lack of it has impacted upon those in quest of acclaim. As media expands, this has become ever more vital. Thus, demeanor if unappealing, can defeat one's likelihood of success, causing the death of prospects whilst they are still embryonic.
John Donne
Image
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
John Donne
Image
Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
John Donne
Image
If we consider eternity, into that time never entered eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period and eternity had been the same as it is, though time had never been.
John Donne
Image
Love is a growing, or full constant light And his first minute, after noon, is night.
John Donne
Image
One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And Death shall be no more Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Image
Religion is not a melancholy, the spirit of God is not a damper.
John Donne
Image
Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks.
John Donne
Image
Enjoyment always has a spoiling, otherwise it cannot be so.
John Donne
Image
I will not look upon the quickening sun, But straight her beauty to my sense shall run The air shall note her soft, the fire most pure Water suggest her clear, and the earth sure Time shall not lose our passages.
John Donne
Image
The day breaks not, it is my heart.
John Donne
