"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face."
"Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks."

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent."
"Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time."
"Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes."
"Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?"
