Oft from new truths, and new phrase, new doubts grow, As strange attire aliens the men we know.

Image
I shall not live 'till I see God and when I have seen Him, I shall never die.
John Donne
Image
This Extasie doth unperplex (We said) and tell us what we love, Wee see by this, it was not sexe, Wee see, we saw not what did move: But as all severall soules contain Mixture of things, they know not what, Love, these mixt souls, doth mixe againe. Loves mysteries in soules doe grow, But yet the body is his booke.
John Donne
Image
My world's both parts, and 'o! Both parts must die.
John Donne
Image
we give each other a smile with a future in it
John Donne
Image
I have done one braver thing than all the Worthies did, and yet a braver thence doth spring, which is, to keep that hid.
John Donne
Image
O Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need thee.
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
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
When I died last, and, Dear, I die As often as from thee I go Though it be but an hour ago, And lovers' hours be full eternity.
John Donne
Image
Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Image
...Whatever dies was not mixed equally, If our two loves be one Or thou and I love so alike That none can slacken, none can die.
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
So, so, break off this last lamenting kiss, Which sucks two souls, and vapors both away.
John Donne
Image
To roam Giddily, and be everywhere but at home, Such freedom doth a banishment become.
John Donne
Image
Pleasure is none, if not diversified.
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
No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne
Image
In the first minute that my soul is infused, the Image of God is imprinted in my soul so forward is God in my behalf, and so early does he visit me.
John Donne
Image
Poor intricated soul! Riddling, perplexed, labyrinthical soul!
John Donne
Image
We can die by it, if not live by love, And if unfit for tombs and hearse Our legend be, it will be fit for verse And if no peace of chronicle we prove, We'll build in sonnet pretty rooms As well a well wrought urne becomes The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs.
John Donne
