Image
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
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
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee.
John Donne

Licence my roving hands, and let them go Before, behind, between, above, below.

John Donne
Image
If every gnat that flies were an archangel, all that could but tell me that there is a God and the poorest worm that creeps tells me that.

John Donne
Image
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
John Donne
Image
I am two fools, I know, For loving, and for saying so.
John Donne
Image
O how feeble is man's power, that if good fortune fall, cannot add another hour, nor a lost hour recall!
John Donne
Image
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
John Donne
Image
And if there be any addition to knowledge, it is rather a new knowledge than a greater knowledge rather a singularity in a desire of proposing something that was not knownat all beforethananimproving, anadvancing, a multiplying of former inceptions and by that means, no knowledge comes to be perfect.
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
Image
Religion is not a melancholy, the spirit of God is not a damper.
John Donne
Image
Kind pity chokes my spleen.
John Donne
