Our critical day is not the very day of our death; but the whole course of our life.

John 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.
JOHN DONNE

Break Breathe Force God Heart Myself Rise Seek
Art is the most passionate orgy within man’s grasp.
JOHN DONNE

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

Our two souls therefore which are one, Though I must go, endure not yet A breach, but an expansion, Like gold to airy thinness beat.

There is hook in every benefit, that sticks in his jaws that takes that benefit, and draws him whither the benefactor will.
