John Donne Quotes on Hope

6 quotes

  1. Yesternight the sun went hence, And yet is here today.

  2. But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.

  3. At the round earth's imagin'd corners, blow Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise From death, you numberless infinities Of souls, and to your scattred bodies go.

  4. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so, For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

  5. One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

  6. 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.
