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
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, Angels affect us often.
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
I shall die reading since my book and a grave are so near.
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 is a growing, or full constant light And his first minute, after noon, is night.
John Donne
Image
All other things to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay.
John Donne
Image
That subtle knot which makes us man So must pure lovers souls descend T affections, and to faculties, Which sense may reach and apprehend, Else a great Prince in prison lies.
John Donne
Image
It is too little to call man a little world Except God, man is a diminutive to nothing.
John Donne
Image
Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
John Donne
Image
That soul that can reflect upon itself, consider itself, is more than so.
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 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
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
Image
I shall not live 'till I see God and when I have seen Him, I shall never die.
John Donne
Image
I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in, and invite God, and his Angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.
John Donne
Image
we give each other a smile with a future in it
John Donne
Image
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
John Donne
Image
No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne
