The Complete John Donne Quotes

“Who can blot out the cross, with th’ instrument
Of God dew’d on me in the Sacrament?”
― John Donne, The Complete John Donne: The Complete Poetry Collections, Prose and Letters

“INDIFFERENT. I CAN love both fair and brown;
Her whom abundance melts, and her whom want betrays;
Her who loves loneness best, and her who masks and plays;
Her whom the country form’d, and whom the town;
Her who believes, and her who tries;
Her who still weeps with spongy eyes,
And her who is dry cork, and never cries.
I can love her, and her, and you, and you;
I can love any, so she be not true.”
― John Donne, The Complete John Donne: The Complete Poetry Collections, Prose and Letters
