1 " Stay, O sweet, and do not rise;The light that shines comes from thine eyes;The day breaks not, it is my heart,Because that you and I must part. "
― John Donne , Selected Poems
2 " Thou, sun, art half as happy as we. "
3 " I am two fools, I know, For loving, and for saying so In whining poetry; But where's that wiseman, that would not be I, If she would not deny? Then as th' earth's inward narrow crooked lanes Do purge sea water's fretful salt away, I thought, if I could draw my pains Through rhyme's vexation, I should them allay. Grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce, For he tames it, that fetters it in verse. "
