Batter my heart- Three Personed God
John Donne sees God as a superior being able to create and destroy things like his own heart:
"Batter my heart, three-personedGod; for you
As yet but knocke, breathe, shine, and seeke to mend;"
He believes God is powerful and indestructible, he can renew people and destroy, burn or explode.
"That I may rise and stand,o'erthrow me, and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new."
He compares the love of God as the enemy, but should not be so that's why he wants to stand with God and that no matter thecircumstances because he never will be free.
"yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,
But am betrothed unto your enemy.
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again;
Take me to you, imprison me,for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor even chaste, except you ravish me."
Ascension [I did not understand the poem very well, but I made an effort]
Él habla sobre el amanecer deun nuevo día, el ultimo y el más largo. Describe un cielo sin nubes , un día en donde abunda la alegría.
"Salute the last and everlasting day,
Joy at th' uprising of this Sun, and Son,
Yewhose true tears, or tribulation
Have purely wash'd, or burnt your drossy clay.
Behold, the Highest, parting hence away,
Lightens the dark clouds, which He treads upon ;"
There is a metaphor thatsays that he is not alone in the way that God and The Holy Spirit are supporting him to do the right thing.
"Nor doth He by ascending show alone,
But first He, and He first enters the way.
Ostrong Ram, which hast batter'd heaven for me !
Mild Lamb, which with Thy Blood hast mark'd the path !
Bright Torch, which shinest, that I the way may see !
O, with Thy own Blood quench Thy own justwrath ;
And if Thy Holy Spirit my Muse did raise,
Deign at my hands this crown of prayer and praise."
Paradise Lost, Book IV, Lines 639–652
Adam compares "without Eve" and "Eve"
With Eva...
