John Donne is new to me, but he was a poet who lived in England during the time of the Reformation. He and his wife had twelve children. A couple of quotes you may have heard come from John Donne. One of them is this; " No man is an island". Another one is, "Don't ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee." He was obviously around when the King James language was used. He would write poems as he walked along the London Bridge at night. He was a lawyer who was elected to Parliament, then when he was forty-five years old, he became a pastor.
