Additional quotes by John Donne

Love's mysteries in souls do grow,
But yet the body is his book.

On a huge hill,
Cragged and steep, Truth stands, and hee that will
Reach her, about must, and about must goe;
And what the hills suddenness resists, winne so;
Yet strive so, that before age, deaths twilight,
Thy Soule rest, for none can worke in that night.

Του κάθε ανθρώπου ο θάνατος, εμένα λιγοστεύει.
