Additional quotes by John Donne

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, Or to keep off envy's stinging, And find What wind Serves to advance an honest mind.

Του κάθε ανθρώπου ο θάνατος, εμένα λιγοστεύει.

It sucked me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;

And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all. - John Donne
