| Bartholomäus Bruyn (Germany) Portrait of a woman and her daughter ca. 1535-45 oil on canvas Hermitage, Saint Petersburg |
At the round Earth's imagined corners, blow
Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise
From death, you numberless infinities
Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go,
All whom the flood did, and fire shall o'erthrow,
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies,
Despair, law, chance, hath slain, and you whose eyes
Shall behold God, and never taste death's woe.
– from Sonnet VII by John Donne (1572-1631)
