Image
Without outward declarations, who can conclude an inward love?
John Donne
Image
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee.
John Donne
Image
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
John Donne
Image
Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.
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
Whilst my physicians by their love are grown Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie Flat on this bed.
John Donne
Image
All other things to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay.
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
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
John Donne
Image
In heaven it is always autumn.
John Donne
Image
Eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period.
John Donne
Image
And dare love that, and say so too, And forget the He and She.
John Donne
Image
There is no health physicians say that we, at best, enjoy but neutrality.
John Donne
Image
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, Angels affect us often.
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
Image
Oft from new truths, and new phrase, new doubts grow, As strange attire aliens the men we know.
John Donne
Image
That subtle knot which makes us man So must pure lovers souls descend T affections, and to faculties, Which sense may reach and apprehend, Else a great Prince in prison lies.
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
I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in, and invite God, and his Angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.
John Donne
Image
And when a whirl-winde hath blowne the dust of the Churchyard into the Church, and man sweeps out the dust of the Church into the Church-yard, who will undertake to sift those dusts again, and to pronounce, This is the Patrician, this is the noble flower, and this the yeomanly, this the Plebian bran.
John Donne
