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.

More quotes by John Donne
Kind pity chokes my spleen.
John Donne
I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
John Donne
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death? Who ever got out of a winding sheet?
John Donne
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
The rich have no more of the kingdom of heaven than they have purchased of the poor by their alms.
John Donne
I shall die reading since my book and a grave are so near.
John Donne
Of all the commentaries on the Scriptures, good examples are the best.
John Donne
Great sorrows cannot speak.
John Donne
When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God but to fall out of the hands of the living God is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.
John Donne
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.
John Donne
Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
John Donne
To roam Giddily, and be everywhere but at home, Such freedom doth a banishment become.
John Donne
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
O Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need thee.
John Donne
In the first minute that my soul is infused, the Image of God is imprinted in my soul so forward is God in my behalf, and so early does he visit me.
John Donne
Festive alcohol sometimes leads to an excess of honesty.
John Donne
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
True joy is the earnest which we have of heaven, it is the treasure of the soul, and therefore should be laid in a safe place, and nothing in this world is safe to place it in.
John Donne
Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.
John Donne
