Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915 Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.

John Donne
Image
Oh do not die, for I shall hate All women so, when thou art gone.
John Donne

Lust-bred diseases rot thee.
John Donne
Image
The distance from nothing to a little, is ten thousand times more, than from it to the highest degree in this life.
John Donne

At the round earth's imagined corners, blow Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise From death, you numberless infinities Of souls **** All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
