The Canonization Quotes

“...[I]f unfit for tomb or hearse
Our legend be, it will be fit for verse;
and if no piece of chronicle we prove,
We'll build in sonnets pretty rooms:
As well a well-wrought urn becomes
The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs,
And by these hymns all shall approve
Us canonized...”
― John Donne, The Canonization
