Man hath weaved out a net, and this net throwne upon the Heavens, and now they are his own.
John DonneThe difference between the reason of man and the instinct of the beast is this, that the beast does but know, but the man knows that he knows.
John DonneAll Kings, and all their favorites, All glory of honors, beauties, wits, The sun itself, which makes times, as they pass, Is elder by a year, now, than it was When thou and I first one another saw: All other things, to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay; This, no tomorrow hash, nor yesterday, Running, it never runs from us away, But truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day.
John Donne
