I know I might get shot by saying this, but I haven't read anything from him
I get that he's good,
what's your fav poem by him?
The Flea by John Donne
Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deny'st me is;
It sucked me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead;
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pampered swells with one blood made of two,
And this, alas, is more than we would do.
Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, yea, more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is;
Though parents grudge, and you, w'are met,
And cloistered in these living walls of jet.
Though use make you apt to kill me,
Let not to that, self-murder added be,
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.
Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?
Wherein could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it sucked from thee?
Yet thou triumph'st and say'st that thou
Find'st not thyself, nor me the weaker now;
'Tis true, then learn how false fears be:
Just so much honor, when thou yield'st to me,
Will waste, as this flea's death took life from thee.
I like this one.
He's a metaphysical poet, so his poetry is characterized by really long, sometimes paradoxical, metaphors. It can be hard to read.
< is amazed how many great poems are there
WOW

or good morning, your choice :D
:wave:
Have a good sleep Rimi.
Well I think I'll call it a night too, bye bye everyone.

I'm currently watching Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark and it is one of the hardest things I've ever had to watch. Trier is the most powerful director in films today, but they truly can make you depressed to the point of sickness. I'll say more on this later in a review.
I am utterly shaken.
^ Why
Read the post above it.
^ Thanks for clearing that up.
^ and he really did say more in the review :lol:
