What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?

John Donne

John Donne
Image
Lust-bred diseases rot thee.
John Donne
Image
If they be two, they are two so As stiff twin compasses are two, Thy soul the fixt foot, makes no show To move, but doth, if the other do.
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
Oh do not die, for I shall hate All women so, when thou art gone.
John Donne
Image
That thou remember them, some claim as debt I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.
John Donne
Image
Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you As yet but knock breathe, shine, and seek to mend That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
John Donne
