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
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
Image
That soul that can reflect upon itself, consider itself, is more than 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
My world's both parts, and 'o! Both parts must die.
John Donne
Image
Let me arrest thy thoughts, wonder with me, Why ploughing, building, ruling and the rest, Or most of those arts, whence our lives are blessed, By cursed Cain's race invented be, And blessed Seth vexed us with astronomy.
John Donne
Image
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
John Donne
Image
Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.
John Donne
Image
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, Angels affect us often.
John Donne
Image
Lust-bred diseases rot thee.
John Donne
Image
Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book.
John Donne
Image
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death? Who ever got out of a winding sheet?
John Donne
Image
But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.
John Donne
Image
Festive alcohol sometimes leads to an excess of honesty.
John Donne
Image
Can there be worse sickness, than to know that we are never well, nor can be so?
John Donne
Image
Sweetest love, I do not go, For weariness of thee, Nor in hope the world can show A fitter love for me But since that I Must die at last, 'tis best, To use my self in jest Thus by feign'd deaths to die.
John Donne
Image
Old grandsires talk of yesterday with sorrow, And for our children we reserve tomorrow.
John Donne
Image
Poor intricated soul! Riddling, perplexed, labyrinthical soul!
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
There is nothing that God hath established in a constant course of nature, and which therefore is done every day, but would seem a Miracle, and exercise our admiration, if it were done but once.
John Donne
