John Donne Quotes

- John Donne

So, if I dream I have you, I have you, / For all our joys are but fantastical. - John Donne

Tribulation is treasure in the nature of it, but it is not current money in the use of it, except we get nearer and nearer our home, heaven, by it. - John Donne

Dear love, for nothing less than thee / Would I have broke this happy dream, / It was a theme / For reason, much too strong for fantasy, / Therefore thou waked'st me wisely; yet / My dream thou brok'st not, but continued'st it. - John Donne
