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
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
Can there be worse sickness, than to know that we are never well, nor can be so?
John Donne
Image
Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you As yet but knock breathe, shine, and seek to mend That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
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

Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915 Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.
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
O how feeble is man's power, that if good fortune fall, cannot add another hour, nor a lost hour recall!
John Donne
Image
Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance.
John Donne
Image
How many times go we to comedies, to masques, to places of great and noble resort, nay even to church only to see the company.
John Donne
Image
One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And Death shall be no more Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Image
That thou remember them, some claim as debt I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.
John Donne
Image
God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
John Donne
Image
Nature hath no goal though she hath law.
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

Enjoyment always has a spoiling, otherwise it cannot be so.
John Donne
