[materiali per il dibattito] Congedo, a vietarle il lamento A Valediction: forbidding mourning Come quietamente i giusti spirano e alle anime loro sussurrano di andare, mentre alcuni dei tristi amici dicono: si spegne il suo respiro, ed altri: non ancora, sciogliamoci così, senza voce, né flutto di lacrime muoviamo, né furia di sospiri: si profana la gioia svelando ai secolari questo amore. Il moto della terra porta mali e paure, specula l'uomo il fatto e ciò che volle dire, ma la trepidazione delle sfere è innocente, seppur tanto maggiore. L'amore degli ottusi amanti sublunari (la cui anima è il senso) non intende l'assenza, che rimuove le cose che gli furono elemento. Ma noi, grazie ad un amore raffinato al punto che noi stessi ne ignoriamo l'essenza, nella mutua certezza della mente meno curiamo perdere labbra, pupille, mani. Le nostre anime, dunque, che sono una, sebbene io debba andare, non patiscono frattura ma espansione, come oro

Leseprobe aus John Donne, Zwar ist auch Dichtung Sünde Verlag Philipp Reclam jun., Leipzig 1982 u. 1985 19 . Elegie Auf das Zubettgehen seiner Dame Komm, Freundin, meine Kräfte spornt die Ruhe. Mich treibt es sehr zur Tat, bis ich es tue. Wer lang dem Feinde gegenübersteht, Wird müd vom Stehn, eh es ans Kämpfen geht. Fort mit dem Gürtel, der wie Himmel glänzt, Doch schöner ist die Welt, die er begrenzt. Leg ab die Brustwehr, die dir freilich nützt, Indem sie dich vor dreisten Blicken schützt. Bind auf die Bänder, und dein Kleid verrät Mir raschelnd: meine Liebste geht zu Bett. Das Mieder fort, das ich beneiden muß; Daß es dir nahesteht, macht mir Verdruß. Und fällt dein Staat, ist erst ein Staat zu sehn, Wie wenn die Nebel von den Wiesen gehn. Fort mit der festgeflochtnen Krone! Zähm Es länger nicht, von Haar das Diadem. Die Schuh nun fort, und schreite sicher aus. Tritt ein ins Bett, der Liebe heiliges Haus. So weiße Roben trugen Engel einst, Wenn sie zu Menschen gingen. Du erscheinst Als Cherub aus des Orients Paradies.

45. John Donne Translate this page Home_Page john donne (1572-1631), Poeta, prosista y clérigo inglés, considerado como el más importante de los poetas metafísicos http://www.epdlp.com/donne.html

John Donne P oeta, prosista y clérigo inglés, considerado como el más importante de los poetas metafísicos, y uno de los mayores poetas amorosos de la literatura universal. Nacido en Londres, a la edad de 11 años ingresó en la Universidad de Oxford, donde estudió durante tres años. Según algunas crónicas, los siguientes tres años los pasó estudiando en la de Cambridge, aunque no obtuvo licenciatura en ninguna de ambas universidades, ni en la primera ni en la segunda. Comenzó a estudiar leyes en el Lincoln's Inn de Londres, en 1592. Dos años mas tarde, renunció a la fe católica en el seno de la cual se había educado, y se unió a la Iglesia de Inglaterra. Su primer libro de poemas, Sátiras , escrito durante los años que pasó en Londres, está considerado como la obra más destacada de su autor. Aunque no lo publicó hasta algún tiempo después de escribirlo, el libro ya había circulado en forma manuscrita, al igual que Canciones y sonetos , escrito en la misma época que el anterior. En 1596, Donne se enroló en la expedición naval de Robert Devereux, que atacó la ciudad de Cádiz (España). A su regreso a Inglaterra, en 1598, fue nombrado secretario privado de sir Thomas Eggerton, Custodio del Gran Sello. Su boda secreta con una sobrina de Eggerton, Anne Moore, provocó su despido y una breve pena de prisión. Un primo de su esposa ofreció refugio a la pareja en Pyrford (Surrey). Allí, Donne escribió su extenso poema El progreso del alma (1601), que describe irónicamente la transmigración del alma de la manzana de Eva. Durante los siguientes años, el poeta llevó una vida miserable trabajando como abogado, al servicio, principalmente, de Thomas Morton, autor de panfletos anticatólicos. Se supone que, entre 1604 y 1607, le escribió numerosos discursos, en los que no se indicó su autoría. Aparte de ello, sus principales creaciones de ese periodo fueron

Add to a Notebook John Donne John Donne was born in 1572 in London, England. He is known as the founder of the Metaphysical Poets, a term created by Samuel Johnson, an eighteenth-century English essayist, poet, and philosopher. The loosely associated group also includes George Herbert , Richard Crashaw, Andrew Marvell , and John Cleveland. The Metaphysical Poets are known for their ability to startle the reader and coax new perspective through paradoxical images, subtle argument, inventive syntax, and imagery from art, philosophy, and religion using an extended metaphor known as a conceit. Donne reached beyond the rational and hierarchical structures of the seventeenth century with his exacting and ingenious conceits, advancing the exploratory spirit of his time. Donne entered the world during a period of theological and political unrest for both England and France; a Protestant massacre occurred on Saint Bartholomew's day in France; while in England, the Catholics were the persecuted minority. Born into a Roman Catholic family, Donne's personal relationship with religion was tumultuous and passionate, and at the center of much of his poetry. He studied at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities in his early teen years. He did not take a degree at either school, because to do so would have meant subscribing to the Thirty-nine Articles, the doctrine that defined Anglicanism. At age twenty he studied law at Lincoln's Inn. Two years later he succumbed to religious pressure and joined the Anglican Church after his younger brother, convicted for his Catholic loyalties, died in prison. Donne wrote most of his love lyrics, erotic verse, and some sacred poems in the 1590's, creating two major volumes of work:

Biography of John Donne The metaphysical poet and clergyman John Donne was one of the most influential poets of the Renaissance. He was just as famous for his witty cutting poetry as he was for his enthralling sermons. John was born to a prominent Roman Catholic family from London in 1572. Not a healthy child, John Donne would lead a life plagued with illness. He received a strong religious upbringing until his enrollment at the University of Oxford at the age of 11. After only three years at Oxford it is believed that he transferred to the University of Cambridge for another three years of study, never obtaining a degree at either college. In 1590 John made a decision that would shape his life: he converted to Anglicanism. With his newfound faith to support him, John moved to London to study law at Lincoln's Inn. With a promising legal career in front of him, he joined the second Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux, in a naval expedition to Cadiz, Spain. Sometime during the return trip in 1598, he was appointed to be the private secretary for Anne More, niece of the Keeper of the Great Seal, Sir Thomas Egerton. Donne excelled at caring for his charge - so well that in 1601 they were secretly married. After Egerton relieved Donne of his position he was imprisoned for his amorous actions. He later wrote about his experience in poetry, "John Donne - Ann Donne - Undone." John continued to live in London for the next few years working as counsel for the anti-Catholic pamphleteer, Thomas Morton from 1604 to 1607. It is also during this time that Donne began his writing with

John Donne Meditation XVII : No man is an island... "All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...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." This famous meditation of Donne's puts forth two essential ideas which are representative of the Renaissance era in which it was written: The idea that people are not isolated from one another, but that mankind is interconnected; and The vivid awareness of mortality that seems a natural outgrowth of a time when death was the constant companion of life. Donne brings these two themes together to affirm that any one man's death diminishes all of mankind, since all mankind is connected; yet that death itself is not so much to be feared as it at first seems. Join us in exploring these two main themes, which we have associated with the two controlling images of the meditation...the island and the bell Isolation: The 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...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...

49. Glossary: Donne, John Glossary entry for donne, john. john donne Bed ). Some more samples of donne s poetry are available at Selected Poetry by john donne. Van http://www.harbour.sfu.ca/~hayward/van/glossary/donne.html

Glossary entry for Donne, John John Donne (rhymes with "sun") was born in 1573 (his father died in 1576) into a Roman Catholic family, and from 1584 to 1594 was educated at Oxford and Cambridge and Lincoln's Inn (this last a highly regarded law school). He became an Anglican (probably around 1594) and aimed at a career in government. He joined with Raleigh and Essex in raids on Cadiz and the Azores, and became private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton. But in 1601 he secretly married Anne More, the 16-year-old niece of Egerton, and her enraged father had Donne imprisoned. The years following were years of poverty, debt, illness, and frustration. In 1615 he was ordained, perhaps largely because he had given up hope of a career in Parliament. His poetry, mostly written before his ordination, includes poems both sacred and secular, full of wit, puns, paradoxes, and obscure allusions at whose meanings we can sometimes only guess, presenting amorous experience in religious terms and devotional experience in erotic terms. After his ordination, his reputation as a preacher grew steadily. From 1622 until his death in 1631 he was Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and drew huge crowds to hear him, both at the Cathedral and at Paul's Cross, an outdoor pulpit nearby. His prose style is in some ways outdated, but his theme continues to fascinate: "the paradoxical and complex predicament of man as he both seeks and yet draws away from the inescapable claim of God on him."

54. Political And Social Criticism In "The Calme" By John Donne Student essay by john DeStefano. http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/donne/destefan.htm

John DeStefano EGL 304 Professor Appelt Political and Social Criticism in "The Calme" by John Donne John Donne's poem " The Calme ," though well known as a literary piece, may also be considered as a historical document. The poem, in addition to another of Donne's works entitled " The Storm This religious theme appears in lines 11 and 12 of "The Calme," in which the speaker claims: "As water did in storms, now pitch runs out;/ As lead, when a fir'd church becomes one spout." These lines combine the religious metaphor with the physical images of storm and calm to sustain a feeling of despondency with a sense of some sort of impending doom. The speaker claims the time of the storm corresponds with a kind of fluidity not present in its aftermath, comparing the flow of water during the storm with the running of "pitch" having the consistency of "lead," for which the church itself serves as a "spout," naming religion as a chief agent of this idleness attributed to "the calme." These repeated images display an unmistakable discontent with society and, especially, one of its key defining elements: the church. Donne combines this theme of religious discontent with a feeling of social despair and hopelessness evident in the following lines: Only the calenture together draws Dear friends, which meet dead in great fishes' jaws

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Donne, John (1572-1631) John Donne ranks among the greatest poets in English literature. Founder of the so-called Metaphysical school, he helped revolutionize English poetry in the late sixteenth-century by creating an intellectual, tough-minded verse characterized by "strong lines," colloquial language, natural rhythms, and surprising conceits. In Donne's poetry, an eccentric and often egocentric sensibility is explored and expressed in a unique voice and often in extreme terms. Donne's canon is large, comprising a great deal of prose as well as satires, love elegies, epigrams, epithalamions, epicedes and obsequies, verse letters, holy sonnets and other divine poems. Sponsor Message. His most famous grouping is the "Songs and Sonets," which includes most of his love lyrics. In "Songs and Sonets," idealistic and cynical attitudes toward love are juxtaposed, both within individual works and in the collection as a whole. Donne characteristically rejects neoplatonic asceticism, but he sometimes expresses disgust with carnality. The witty and passionate Donne is justly recognized as the late Renaissance's supreme poet of heterosexual love. Known in his youth as a ladies' man, he caused a scandal in 1601 by secretly marrying the niece of his employer, Lord Keeper Egerton, an indiscretion that led to his dismissal and brief imprisonment and that ruined his prospects for a career in public service. He fathered twelve children and eventually took holy orders in the Church of England. When he died in 1631, he had become Dr. Donne, Dean of St. Paul's, and the most famous preacher in the land.

For whom the Bell Tolls John Donne From "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions" (1623), XVII: Nunc Lento Sonitu Dicunt, Morieris - "Now, this bell tolling softly for another, says to me: Thou must die." PERCHANCE he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that. The church is Catholic, universal, so are all her actions; all that she does belongs to all. When she baptizes a child, that action concerns me; for that child is thereby connected to that body which is my head too, and ingrafted into that body whereof I am a member. And when she buries a man, that action concerns me: all mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.
