Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comesJohn Donne
Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me and bend Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new. I, like a usurped town to another due, Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend, But is captived, and proves weak or untrue. Yet dearly I love you, and would be lov-ed fain, But am betrothed unto your enemy Divorce me, untie or break that knot again Take me to you, imprison me, for I Except you enthrall me, never shall be free, Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
John Donne

John Donne
All mankind is of one author, and is one volume when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language and every chapter must be so translated God emploies several translators some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice but God's hand is in every translation and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again, for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.
John Donne

John Donne
Now God comes to thee, not as in the dawning of the day, not as in the bud of the spring, but as the sun at noon to illustrate all shadows, as the sheaves in harvest, to fill all penuries, all occasions invite his mercies, and all times are his seasons.
John Donne
