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
We love and understand talent we wish it be within us. The truly gifted, those exceptional few, must wait for the world to catch up.
John Donne
Image
Who are a little wise the best fools be.
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
Image
To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the god of love.
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
Image
There is nothing that God hath established in a constant course of nature, and which therefore is done every day, but would seem a Miracle, and exercise our admiration, if it were done but once.
John Donne
Image
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
John Donne

Pleasure is none, if not diversified.
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
When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God but to fall out of the hands of the living God is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.
John Donne
Image
Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
John Donne
Image
All other things to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay.
John Donne
Image
Be more than man, or thou'rt less than an ant.
John Donne
Image
So, so, break off this last lamenting kiss, Which sucks two souls, and vapors both away.
John Donne
Image
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
John Donne
Image
If we consider eternity, into that time never entered eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period and eternity had been the same as it is, though time had never been.
John Donne
Image
But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.
John Donne
Image
Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
John Donne
Image
Oh do not die, for I shall hate All women so, when thou art gone.
John Donne
