Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
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
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
Image
Without outward declarations, who can conclude an inward love?
John Donne
Image
Take me to you, imprison me, for I, except you enthrall me, never shall be free, nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
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
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
John Donne
Image
Man hath weaved out a net, and this net throwne upon the Heavens, and now they are his own.
John Donne
Image
To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the god of love.
John Donne
Image
Great sorrows cannot speak.
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
I count all that part of my life lost which I spent not in communion with God, or in doing good.
John Donne
Image
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
John Donne
Image
I shall not live 'till I see God and when I have seen Him, I shall never die.
John Donne
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
At the round earth's imagined corners, blow your trumpets, angels.
John Donne
Image
Nature hath no goal though she hath law.
John Donne
Image
Friends are ourselves.
John Donne
Image
Tis true, 'tis day what though it be? O wilt thou therefore rise from me? Why should we rise, because 'tis light? Did we lie down, because 'twas night? Love which in spite of darkness brought us hither Should in despite of light keep us together.
John Donne
Image
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest Where can we find two better hemispheres, Without sharp north, without declining west? Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally If our two loves be one, or, thou and I Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.
John Donne
