Additional quotes by John Donne
To know and feel all this and not have the words to express it makes a human a grave of his own thoughts.
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.
Let not thy divining heart
Forethink me any ill;
Destiny may take thy part,
And may thy fears fulfill.
