Donne Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words donne and/or wrote:

    I long to talk with some old lover’s ghost
    Who died before the god of love was born.
    I cannot think that he who then loved most,
    Sunk so low as to love one which did scorn.
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life—I wrote this some years ago—that were worth the postage.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
