True and false fears let us refrain, 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 DonneOur 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 DonneFull nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.
John DonneIf 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.
John DonneGod made sun and moon to distinguish the seasons, and day and night; and we cannot have the fruits of the earth but in their seasons. But God hath made no decrees to distinguish the seasons of His mercies. In Paradise the fruits were ripe the first minute, and in heaven it is always autumn. His mercies are ever in their maturity.
John Donne
