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

“Our two souls therefore, which are one,”

“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.”

“Go and catch a falling star,”

“True and false fears let us refrain,”

“My face in thine eye, thine in mine appeares,”

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

“What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew”

“Never ran this hard through the valley”

“The poet must be more useful than any other member if his tribe.”

“Tears are shed in my heart like the rain on the town.”

“She needed the chaos within her in order to discover the extraordinary no man could ever reach.”

“It is growing cold. Winter is putting footsteps in the meadow. What whiteness boasts that sun that comes into this wood! One would say milk-colored maidens are dancing on the petals of orchids. How coldly burns our sun! One would say its rays of light are shards of snow, one imagines the sun lives upon a snow crested peak on this day. One would say she is a woman who wears a gown of winter frost that blinds the eyes. Helplessness has weakened me. Wandering has wearied my legs.”
