Image
To roam Giddily, and be everywhere but at home, Such freedom doth a banishment become.
John Donne
Image
Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.
John Donne
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
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
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
Never start with tomorrow to reach eternity. Eternity is not being reached by small steps.
John Donne
Image
Twice or thrice had I loved thee before I knew thy face or name, so in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, angels affect us oft, and worshiped be.
John Donne
Image
And swear No where Lives a woman true, and fair.
John Donne
Image
Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks.
John Donne
Image
Kind pity chokes my spleen.
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
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
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
And dare love that, and say so too, And forget the He and She.
John Donne
Image
My love though silly is more brave.
John Donne
Image
Can there be worse sickness, than to know that we are never well, nor can be so?
John Donne
Image
Whilst my physicians by their love are grown Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie Flat on this bed.
John Donne
Image
This only is charity, to do all, all that we can.
John Donne
Image
Enjoyment always has a spoiling, otherwise it cannot be so.
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
