Famous quotes containing the word bodies:

    But oh alas, so long, so far
    Our bodies why do we forbear?
    They are ours, though they are not we; we are
    The intelligences, they the sphere.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    Love’s mysteries in souls do grow,
    But yet the body is his book.
    And if some lover, such as we,
    Have heard this dialogue of one,
    Let him still mark us, he shall see
    Small change, when we’re to bodies gone.”
    John Donne (1572–1631)
