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

“Go and catch a falling star,”

“I am two fools, I know,”

“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.”

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

“Our two souls therefore, which are one,”

“At the round earth's imagined corners blow”

“I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.”

“When you were sleeping on the sofa”

“مَن ثبّت قلبي في جسد الليلْ؟”

“Are you jealous of the ocean's generosity?”

“All dark, all bloody, my heart,”

“Poetry that emerges from a poet’s mind becomes complete only when it enters into the reader’s sphere of comprehension.”
