Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus
Through windows and through curtains call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
John Donne

But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am my own executioner.
John Donne
Meditation XII

Clothed in her virgin white integrity.
John Donne
A Funeral Elegy

Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove,
Of golden sands, and crystal brooks,
With silken lines, and silver hooks.
John Donne
The Bait

Contemplative and bookish men must of necessity be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they go towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.
John Donne

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so.
For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow.
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
John Donne
Holy Sonnets, X

Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
John Donne

For God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love.
John Donne
The Canonization

For, thus friends absent speak.
John Donne
To Sir Henry Wotton

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.
John Donne
To His Mistress Going to Bed
