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 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

Love is a growing, or full constant light; And his first minute, after noon, is night.

John Donne 317 quotes

If ever any beauty I did see,...

If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.

Doth not a man die even in his birth? The breaking of prison is death, and what is our birth, but a breaking of prison?

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.

Take me to you, imprison me, for I, except you enthrall me, never shall be free, nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

There is hook in every benefit, that sticks in his jaws that takes that benefit, and draws him whither the benefactor will.

How great love is, presence best trial makes, But absence tries how long this love will be.

John Donne 317 quotes

And now good morrow to our wa...

And now good morrow to our waking souls, Which watch not one another out of fear; For love, all love of other sights controls, And makes one little room, an everywhere. Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone, Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown, Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.

John Donne 317 quotes

Our two souls therefore, whic...

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. If they be two, they are two so As stiff twin compasses are two; Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show To move, but doth if th' other do. And though it in the center sit, Yet when the other far doth roam, It leans and hearkens after it, And grows erect, as that comes home. Suth wilt thou be to me, who must Like th' other foot, obliquely run; Thy firmness makes my circle just, And makes me end where I began.

John Donne 317 quotes

Here lies a she sun, and a he...

Here lies a she sun, and a he moon there; She gives the best light to his sphere; Or each is both, and all, and so They unto one another nothing owe; And yet they do, but are So just and rich in that coin which they pay, That neither would, nor needs forbear, nor stay; Neither desires to be spared nor to spare. They quickly pay their debt, and then Take no acquittances, but pay again; They pay, they give, they lend, and so let fall No such occasion to be liberal. More truth, more courage in these two do shine, Than all thy turtles have and sparrows, Valentine.

John Donne 317 quotes

The sun must not set upon anger, much less will I let the sun set upon the anger of God towards me.

If I lose at play, I blaspheme; if my fellow loses, he blasphemes. So, God is always the loser.

God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.

John Donne 317 quotes

Send home my long strayed eye...

Send home my long strayed eyes to me, Which (Oh) too long have dwelt on thee.

John Donne 317 quotes

Yet nothing can to nothing fa...

Yet nothing can to nothing fall, Nor any place be empty quite; Therefore I think my breast hath all Those pieces still, though they be not unite; And now, as broken glasses show A hundred lesser faces, so My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore, But after one such love, can love no more.
