Poetry Quote by John Donne — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

“This is joy's bonfire, then, where love's strong arts”

“Only our love hath no decay;”

“And to 'scape stormy days, I choose an everlasting night.”

“Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

“Brimming. That's what it is, I want to get to a place where my sentences enact brimming.”

“We are all old-timers,”

“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,”

“I’ve been thinking about the way, when you walk”

“Unusual things, they quickly grab my attention. Messy hair and rainy days are my kinds of perfection, but I mostly love when you kiss me hard and take me beyond this realm to that holy place I only find with you.”

“Consider the difference between the first and third person in poetry [...] It's like the difference between looking at a person and looking through their eyes.”
