life: Random amusement from class-i-hate today

The following poem was located on page 666 of the literature book for my 'Approaches to Literary Genre' class.  I just can't make this shit up.

Holy Sonnet 14
John Dunne

Batter my heart, three-person'd 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

Isn't his poetry... a bit harsh and dark? And this one is fairly light. Not my favorite poet but some of his stuff is hauntingly beautiful
