Aflevering 'Batter My Heart, Three-Personed God' - John Donne

Leuk dat je luistert naar The Soul in Paraphrase. Het gedicht voor deze week is 'Batter my heart, three-personed God' van John Donne (uit de Holy Sonnets 1633): 'Batter my heart, three-personed God; for You As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend; That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new. I, like an usurped town to another due, Labor to admit You, but O, to no end. Reason, Your viceroy in me, me should defend, But is captived, and proves weak or untrue. 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 enthral me, never shall be free, Nor ever chaste, except You ravish me.'
