John Dunne - Week 10
Hello Hello, well I was late today and I’m guessing you can all guess as to why I was late! Well for those that don’t know I have to come through Menai to uni cause it’s the easiest way to come from my way and yes through ALFORDS POINT BRIGDE! So today there was an 8 car smash and it took soooooo very long to get through because it was so big and nasty, I don’t think that people were seriously hurt or anything so that’s good, but it is seriously very annoying to sit and sit and sit just waiting to get through…. Oh the joys of driving! But I got here and that’s all good.
So on to the entry, today we stepped back into the poetry scene, which well I have been dappling in of late, so yeah that made it more interesting.
Today we did the poems by John Donne, “The Sun Rising” and “from Holy Sonnets - sonnet 10”, these were both interesting poems. In “The Sun Rising” he has expressed his displeasure in the sun and that he cannot be ruled by the sun, although the sun revolves around us, he is saying that it does not rule him, or his feelings for his beloved and the world in which they have created in his room and bed. He challenges the sun to face the fact that he will not be ruled by it, he has everything that he needs and nothing else matters; he has his beloved and his world that he has created in his room, what else could he possibly need?
In the other Donne poem, “from Holy Sonnets - sonnet 10”, he is talking of death and how he doesn’t fear it because he knows that there is life after death for him and that he will sleep only momentarily until he reaches everlasting life. He also makes challenges to death, as I don’t think that he fears it, he is saying that death cannot kill him and so, he is not afraid because he will be with kings and princes, because they have afterlife also.
