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.

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
. . . Change is the nursery Of musicke, joy, life and eternity.
John Donne
Image
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
John Donne
Image
God made sun and moon to distinguish the seasons, and day and night and we cannot have the fruits of the earth but in their seasons. But God hath made no decrees to distinguish the seasons of His mercies. In Paradise the fruits were ripe the first minute, and in heaven it is always autumn. His mercies are ever in their maturity.
John Donne
Image
Oft from new truths, and new phrase, new doubts grow, As strange attire aliens the men we know.
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
Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne

Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
John Donne

'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's.
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
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the seven sleepers' den?
John Donne
Image
No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne
Image
And swear No where Lives a woman true, and fair.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it. No man hath affliction enough that is not matured and ripened by it and made fit for God.
John Donne
Image
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
John Donne
Image
Twice or thrice had I loved thee before I knew thy face or name, so in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, angels affect us oft, and worshiped be.
John Donne
Image
Can there be worse sickness, than to know that we are never well, nor can be so?
John Donne
Image
Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance.
John Donne
