A very special moment today - one of my Upper Sixth students brought in a copy of Donne’s ‘Biathanatos’ - it was an edition from 1700. Wonderful to hold history in your hands… 📚 ✨ @DailyDonne

By @DailyDonne I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den? Read the full poem & analysis below. poemanalysis.com/john-donne/… #poem #poet #wow

I call’d on Love againe, who fear’d you so, That his compassion still prov’d greater woe; For, then I dream’d I was in bed with you, But durst not feele, for feare’t should not be true.

Thus, till dry teares soulder mine eyes, I weepe; And then, I dreame, how you securely sleepe, And in your dreames doe laugh at me.

Landlord won't appreciate that groans are all my rent

Here griefe wants a fresh wit, for mine being spent, And my sighs weary, groanes are all my rent. Unable longer to indure the paine, They breake like thunder, and doe bring down rain.

On this 23rd day of #NationalPoetryMonth 🌸🌸 we celebrate a man born 450 years ago this year, John Donne. In his #poem, he describes the universal experience of what it is like to have a broken heart 💔❤️‍🩹: classicpoesy.com/episodes/do… #poetrycommunity #classicpoet #love #heartbreak
Black background with a pink paper heart ripped through the middle symbolizing a broken heart. Pink text from John Donne's poem, The Broken Heart on the right that reads: If`twere not so, what did become Of my heart, when I first saw thee ? I brought a heart into the room, But from the room, I carried none with me; If it had gone to thee, I know Mine would have taught thy heart to show More pity unto me: but Love, alas, At one first blow did shiver it as glass.

Much of my able youth, and lusty head Will vanish, if thou Love let them alone, For thou wilt love me less when they are gone

Which, as the soul quickens head, feet, and heart, As streams like veins, run through th’earth’s every part, Visit all Countries, and have slily made Gorgeous France, ruin’d, ragged, and decay’d; Scotland, which knew no State, proud in one day: And mangled seventeen-headed Belgia

So kiss good turtles, so devoutly nice Are Priests in handling reverent sacrifice, And nice in searching wounds the Surgeon is, As we, when we embrace, or touch, or kiss
