I'm doing a big assignment which I'm also running behind on, but I must stop and record some of my initial wondernment! I'm writing about John Donne, a very religiously devout and widely recognized metaphysical master poet of the 17th century, and it is writ about him that he did not deny his youth as a "womanizer," however he saw his life as a whole and that, coupled with his interest for and understanding of psychology triggered lines that are so fitting and explaining of my life, my Most Holy, when he proclaimed to his (final) beloved:
"If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desir'd, and got, t'was but a dreame of thee."
...my goodness, I have seldom encountered such understanding of romantic unctions in an individual expressed so undescribeably elegant! And here I was, succumbing to the belief that it was 'only me.' Tsk tsk tsk...
