Affliction
is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it. John Donne Meditation XVII
All
mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies,
one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into
a better language. John Donne Meditation XVII
All
other things, to their destruction draw,
Only our love hath no decay;
This, no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday,
Running it never runs from us away,
But truly keep his first, last, everlasting day. John Donne The Anniversary
All
whom war, dearth, age, arues, tyrannies
Despair, law, chance, hath slain. John Donne Holy Sonnets, VII
And
new Philosophy calls all in doubt,
The element of fire is quite put out;
The Sun is lost, and th' earth, and no man's wit
Can well direct him where to look for it. John Donne An Anatomy of the World: The First Anniversary
And
swear
No where
Lives a woman true, and fair. John Donne Song: Go and catch a falling star
Any
man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind;
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it
tolls for thee. John Donne Meditation XVII
As
states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being
known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery
and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine
all emergent differences there. John Donne
As
virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say,
The breath goes now, and some say no. John Donne A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning
At
the round earth's imagined corners, blow
Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise
From death, you numberless infinities
Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go. John Donne Holy Sonnets, VII
