Famous quotes containing the words donne and/or wrote:
“This is my playes last scene, here heavens appoint
My pilgrimages last mile; and my race
Idly, yet quickly runne, hath this last pace,
My spans last inch, my minutes last point,
And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoynt
My body, and soule, and I shall sleepe a space,”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Ah, yes, I wrote the “Purple Cow”—
I’m sorry, now, I wrote it!
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I’ll kill you if you quote it.”
—Gelett Burgess (1866–1951)
