Repaire me now, for now mine end doth haste, I runne to death, and death meets me as fast, And all my pleasures are like yesterday; I dare not move my dimme eyes any way, Despaire behind, and death before doth cast Such terrour, and my feeble flesh doth waste By sinne in it, which it t'wards hell doth weigh; Onely thou art above, and when towards thee By thy leave I can looke, I rise againe; But our old subtle foe so tempteth me, That not one houre my selfe I can sustaine; Thy Grace may wing me to prevent his art, And thou like Adamant draw mine iron heart. II As due by many titles I resigne My selfe to thee, O God, first I was made By thee, and for thee, and when I was decay'd Thy blood bought that, the which before was thine; I am thy sonne, made with thy selfe to shine, Thy servant, whose paines thou hast still repaid, Thy sheepe, thine Image, and, till I betray'd My selfe, a temple of thy Spirit divine; Why doth the devill then usurpe on mee?

Donne's parents were Catholics, and his mother, Elizabeth Heywood, was directly descended from the sister of the great Sir Thomas More ; she was the daughter of John Heywood the epigrammatist. As a child, Donne's precocity was such that it was said of him that "this age hath brought forth another Pico della Mirandola ." He entered Hart Hall, Oxford, in October 1584, and left it in 1587, proceeding for a time to Cambridge, where he took his degree. At Oxford he began his friendship with Henry Wotton, and at Cambridge, probably, with Christopher Brooke. Donne was "removed to London" about 1590, and in 1592 he entered Lincoln's Inn with the intention of studying the law. When he came of age, he found himself in possession of a considerable fortune, and about the same time rejected the Catholic doctrine in favor of the Anglican communion. He began to produce

Poetry Home Contents 'No Man is an Island' 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 any manner of thy friends 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 bell tolls; it tolls for thee. Olde English Version No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

68. John Donne, Poems And Sermon Excerpt After his death, donne s Collected Poems were published in an authoritative volume edited by the poet s son, john, who also edited and published in three http://faculty.goucher.edu/eng211/john_donne.htm

John Donne, Poems (many before 1597? / published 16 33), "Expostulation #19" (1624), and "Meditation #4" (1632) Genre: songs in a wide variety of meters, rhyme schemes, and stanza structures; a sermon or moral argument. Form: See entries for individual assigned works. Donne acknowledged his indebtedness to Mary Sidney Herbert and Philip Sidney for their translations of the Psalms in a poem dedicated to them , and he also appears to have developed some of his wildly inventive stanza structures by following their lead. See, for instance, the translation of Psalm #139 (962). Characters: "Jack Donne"'s persona , a brash young courtier-lover who will use any rhetorical strategy to attain his end, not excluding truth when it suits the occasion; Dr. John Donne's persona , a weary, passionate, ferocious intellect with a profound committment to the religious faith of his flock. Note that this is an extremely difficult set of personae to puzzle out. "Jack"'s humor is so antic that there is no guarantee he is addressing a real woman at all, but rather he may be playing a game with words, not unlike Sidney's "Astrophil" (or Herrick, especially!). The second persona is more likely to be "on oath," since he speaks from a pulpit, but in the Holy Sonnets he says shocking things that may remind us of Margery Kempe or Julian of Norwich. How does he mean us to read? Individual Songs: "The Good Morrow"

John Donne (1572-1631) Annunciation Salvation to all that will is nigh; That All, which always is all everywhere, Which cannot sin, and yet all sins must bear, Which cannot die, yet cannot choose but die, Lo, faithful virgin, yields Himself to lie In prison, in thy womb; and though He there Can take no sin, nor thou give, yet He will wear, Taken from thence, flesh, which death's force may try. Ere by the spheres time was created, thou Wast in His mind, who is thy Son and Brother; Whom thou conceivst, conceived; yea thou art now Thy Maker's maker, and thy Father's mother; Thou hast light in dark, and shutst in little room, Immensity cloistered in thy dear womb. Nativity Immensity cloistered in thy dear womb, Now leaves His well-belov'd imprisonment, There He hath made Himself to His intent Weak enough, now into the world to come; But O, for thee, for Him, hath the inn no room? Yet lay Him in this stall, and from the Orient, Stars and wise men will travel to prevent The effect of Herod's jealous general doom. Seest thou, my soul, with thy faith's eyes, how He

Start your day with a thought-provoking quote from the world's greatest thinkers and writers. Sign up to The Daily Muse for free. John Donne author of metaphysical and love poetry that is among the greatest ever written Donne's metaphysical poetry makes use of complex, shifting images which are remarkably convincing to the reader. The greatness of his poetry is the simplicity in the ideas expressed - despite the use of extensive techniques and varying images, a simple and complete argument is moulded in all of the poet's works. At an early age, Donne entered the University of Oxford, and later had a short stint at Cambridge University. He did not receive a degree from either university; but subsequently studied law and worked as a lawyer. He became a priest of the Anglican Church in 1615, after deserting the Catholic faith in which he was brought up. His collection of Holy Sermons, 160 Sermons is some of his most interesting work. Donne's metaphysical poetry and the irregular techniques he employed which were so unique for his time had a profound influence on many authors.

No. 1453: TWO HUYGENS AND JOHN DONNE by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1453. Today, a tale of two Huygens and John Donne. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. Christiaan Huygens is well known to anyone who has studied physics. But few people know about his father, Constantijn Huygens. Father and son together take us all the way from the Elizabethan Age to modern physics. The father was born in Holland in 1596. He was wonderfully favored with intelligence and physical grace a linguist, athlete, writer, musician and composer. At twenty-two Constantijn Huygens began a high-profile international life. He studied at Oxford and Cambridge. He played the lute for the same King James who authorized the Bible translation. King James eventually knighted him. He joined diplomatic missions. And he almost killed himself scaling the spire of Strasburg Cathedral. In England he made friends of Francis Bacon (who set down the modern scientific method) and the poet John Donne. His respect for Donne colored his life and his son's as well. Constantijn Huygens went on to write plays, prose, and poetry. He honored Donne by translating his poems. If you know Donne's complex style, you know that was no small task, but Huygens was Holland's leading poet.

Anderson Contemporary readers often know John Donne only as the difficult metaphysical poet whose early erotic poems puzzled, then titillated (and still do) students in English literature survey courses. "Come live with mee, and bee my love, / And wee will some new pleasures prove" run the famous opening lines of "The Baite." Or "The Canonization": "For God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love; / Or chide my palsie, or my gout." We know without knowing many phrases and thoughts from Donne's sermons and devotional poetry: "No man is an island"; "Death be not proud"; "Batter my heart, three person'd God." As with Shakespeare, they have entered the conversational world sundered and separated from their author and context. It is not as Donne whose final years saw him as a popular preacher rather than a passionate poet would have had it. He liked to make a sharp distinction between the "Jack Donne" of the poetry and "Doctor Donne," the Anglican priest who served as dean of the prestigious St. Paul's Cathedral and preached the gospel to king and court. In a famous letter of 1623 to the Duke of Buckingham, Donne argued that poetry was "the mistress of my youth," while divinity was "the wife of my age."
