John donne's work recommendation

Many of Donne's works mainly interest scholars. Readers may only know a few selected works at first. I recommend them: songs and sonnets, elegies, first and second anniversaries, sacred sonnets and emergency prayers. Donne's Angels Beyond the Clouds may make people feel far-fetched at first and create unnecessary difficulties. But there is a correct reason behind his strange metaphors (often from business and science) and seemingly elaborate style. Readers will soon find these reasons after careful reading, and his personalized language will not be so strange, but more and more interesting.

dream

Translated by john donne and Fu Hao.

I love her image more truly than herself;

She left a good impression on my loyal heart.

Let me be her badge, her love,

Just like a king minting coins and printing them on coins.

Give value: go and take my heart from now on.

It has grown too big, which is great for me.

Honor oppresses weak souls and powerful objects.

Let us feel boring; The stronger we are, the less we see.

When you leave, your reason goes with you,

Illusion becomes queen and soul, even everything;

The joy she can provide is gentler than yours;

Convenient and pleasant, and more balanced and coordinated.

So, if I dream of having you, I will have you,

Because all our happiness is illusory.

So I run away from pain, because pain is real;

Sleeping with the feeling of being locked will lock everything out.

After enjoying it, I will wake up,

In addition to awakening, there will be no regrets;

Will write more poems thanking love,

Even if it takes more honor, pain and tears.

Dearest heart, and dearer image, but please stay;

Well, true happiness is only enough dreams at most;

Although you stayed here for a while, you died soon;

Even in the beginning, life is a burning wick.

Full of her love, I'd rather have too many hearts.

And become crazy instead of being an unintentional idiot.

Farewell: No mourning

Farewell: Don't be sad.

Just as a sage leaves gently, so a saint dies peacefully.

Whispering for their souls to leave.

Although some of their sad friends said that someone was sad or died.

Now that his breath has disappeared, some people say no and sigh that he is crazy, but he also says no.

Let me melt, and don't make any noise. Let's leave quietly and don't make any noise.

No tears-flood, no sight-storm moving, don't cry like flood, don't sigh sadly.

They are blasphemies against our happiness, blasphemies against our happiness.

Telling the laity our love is to announce our love to the laity.

The movement of the earth brings harm, and fear brings harm and fear.

What people think it has done means that people have violated its meaning.

But the tremors of spheres and celestial bodies, though powerful.

Although bigger and farther, it is innocent and harmless.

Boring, semi-crazy love, boring and vulgar love

-whose soul is the senses-can't admit that it is based on the senses and can't bear it.

Because it eliminates separation, because separation.

What constitutes love breaks the foundation of love.

But we are so refined by a love, and you and I have such pure love.

We don't know what it is, and even we can't understand it.

Heart to heart means heart to heart, mutual commitment.

Inadvertently, eyes, lips and hands should be missed. Do you care about the blending of eyes, lips and hands?

Our two souls are one.

Although I must leave, I must stay away.

Default, but expansion is not default, but expansion.

A racket as thin as gold is like gold being refined into a thin floating foil.

If there are two, it is two, so if our souls are divided into two.

Just like a hard twin compass, two compasses should be like hard compasses.

Your shoes, fixed feet, don't show, your heart is fixed, stick to it.

Move, but if the other foot starts to move, you rotate with it.

Although it is in the middle, although it is always in the middle.

However, when the other foot is wandering in the distance and the other foot is wandering around.

It leans and listens. It will also lean sideways and listen carefully.

When it comes back, it will be as straight as before.

This is what you mean to me, and I always have been.

Like the other foot, objectively run like the other foot and turn sideways.

Your firmness makes my circle just. Your faithfulness has surrounded my footsteps.

Let me finish where I started, and let me stop wandering at the starting line.
