John Donne
“Love was so subtilly catch'd, as a disease;
But being got it is a treasure sweet,
Which to defend is harder then to get:
And ought not be prophan'd on either part,
For though 'tis got by chance, 'tis kept by art.”
John Donne, The Complete English Poems

John Donne
“The day breaks not: it is my heart.”
John Donne, The Complete English Poems

John Donne
“Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown; Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one. My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; Where can we find two better hemispheres Without sharp north, without declining west?”
John Donne, The Complete English Poems

Federico García Lorca
“Between my shoulders, my full and golden soul takes wing. The April sky turns my eyes indigo.”
Federico García Lorca, The Selected Poems

W.S. Merwin
“Summer"

Be of this brightness dyed
Whose unrecking fever
Flings gold before it goes
Into voids finally
That have no measure.

Bird-sleep moonset,
Island after island,
Be of their hush
On this tide that balance
A time, for a time.

Islands are not forever,
Nor this light again,
Tide-set, brief summer,
Be of their secret
That fears no other.”
W.S. Merwin, Migration: New and Selected Poems
