Quote by John Donne
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
Summary
In this famous quote by John Donne, he challenges the fear and power associated with death. He personifies death, refusing to hail it as "mighty and dreadful" because it cannot truly claim victory over life. Donne asserts that although our mortal bodies may succumb to death, our spirits and legacy live on. Death is helpless in taking away our eternal existence, making it ultimately not formidable or able to eradicate our essence.
