John Donne
According To...

"With Donne, whose muse on dromedary trots,
Wreathe iron pokers into true-love knots;
Rhyme's sturdy cripple, fancy's maze and clue,
Wit's forge and fire-blast, meaning's press and screw."

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 

"Dr Donne's verses are like the peace of God; they pass all understanding."

- James I
