Go and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all past years are,
Or who cleft the Devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing.
John Donne
Song: Go and catch a falling star

He must pull out his own eyes, and see no creature, before he can say, he sees no God; He must be no man, and quench his reasonable soul, before he can say to himself, there is no God.
John Donne
Sermons

For loving, and for saying
In whining poetry.

John Donne
Meditation VI

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

As if 'twixt air and angels' purity,
'Twixt women's love, and men's will ever be.

Let us love nobly, and live, and add again
Years and years unto years, till we attain
To write threescore: this is the second of our reign.
John Donne

License my roving hands, and let them go
Before, behind, between, above, below.
O my America! my new found land,
My kingdom, safeliest when with one man manned.
John Donne
To His Mistress Going to Bed

Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
John Donne
The Sun Rising

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.
John Donne
