John Donne
  • Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

  • Nature's great masterpiece, an elephant the only harmless great thing.

  • I am two fools, I know, for loving, and for saying so in whining poetry.

  • As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.

  • God employs several translators some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice.
