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

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
Kind pity chokes my spleen.
John Donne

To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the god of love.
John Donne
Image

John Donne
Image
My world's both parts, and 'o! Both parts must die.
John Donne
Image
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
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
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
John Donne
Image
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
John Donne
Image
Licence my roving hands, and let them go Before, behind, between, above, below.
John Donne
