Additional quotes by John Donne

For I am every dead thing, In whom love wrought new alchemy. For his art did express A quintessence even from nothingness, From dull privations, and lean emptiness He ruined me, and I am re-begot Of absence, darkness, death; things which are not.

I am a little world made cunningly Of elements, and an angelic sprite.

Oh do not die, for I shall hate All women so, when thou art gone.
