Up then, fair phoenix bride, ...

Up then, fair phoenix bride, frustrate the sun; Thyself from thine affection Takest warmth enough, and from thine eye All lesser birds will take their jollity. Up, up, fair bride, and call Thy stars from out their several boxes, take Thy rubies, pearls, and diamonds forth, and make Thyself a constellation of them all; And by their blazing signify That a great princess falls, but doth not die. Be thou a new star, that to us portends Ends of much wonder; and be thou those ends.

John Donne 317 quotes

Our two souls therefore which are one, Though I must go, endure not yet A breach, but an expansion, Like gold to airy thinness beat.

John Donne 317 quotes

Sweetest love, I do not go, For weariness of thee, Nor in hope the world can show A fitter love for me; But since that I Must die at last, 'tis best, To use my self in jest Thus by feign'd deaths to die.

John Donne 317 quotes

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 317 quotes

Men perish with whispering si...

Men perish with whispering sins-nay, with silent sins, sins that never tell the conscience that they are sins, as often with crying sins; and in hell there shall meet as many men that never thought what was sin, as that spent all their thoughts in the compassing of sin.

John Donne 317 quotes

On a huge hill, Cragged, and ...

On a huge hill, Cragged, and steep, Truth stands, and hee that will
Reach her, about must, and about must goo.

John Donne 317 quotes

Now God comes to thee, not as...

Now God comes to thee, not as in the dawning of the day, not as in the bud of the spring, but as the sun at noon to illustrate all shadows, as the sheaves in harvest, to fill all penuries, all occasions invite his mercies, and all times are his seasons.

John Donne 317 quotes

If every gnat that flies were...

If every gnat that flies were an archangel, all that could but tell me that there is a God; and the poorest worm that creeps tells me that.

At the round earth's imagined...

At the round earth's imagined corners, blow your trumpets, angels.

All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.

John Donne 317 quotes

Dull sublunary lovers' love (...

Dull sublunary lovers' love (Whose soul is sense) cannot admit Absence, because it doth remove Those things which elemented it.

John Donne 317 quotes

The Phoenix riddle hath more ...

The Phoenix riddle hath more wit By us, we two being one, are it. So to one neutral thing both sexes fit, We die and rise the same, and prove Mysterious by this love.

John Donne 317 quotes

Affliction is a treasure, and...

Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it. No man hath affliction enough that is not matured and ripened by it and made fit for God.

John Donne 317 quotes

Great sins are great possessi...

Great sins are great possessions; but levities and vanities possess us too; and men had rather part with Christ than with any possession.

John Donne 317 quotes

Our faults are not seen, But ...

Our faults are not seen, But past us; neither felt, but only in The punishment.

John Donne 317 quotes

All Kings, and all their favo...

All Kings, and all their favorites, All glory of honors, beauties, wits, The sun itself, which makes times, as they pass, Is elder by a year, now, than it was When thou and I first one another saw: All other things, to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay; This, no tomorrow hash, nor yesterday, Running, it never runs from us away, But truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day.

John Donne 317 quotes

That soul that can reflect up...

That soul that can reflect upon itself, consider itself, is more than so.
