On Sunday May 8, Dan Cabot is speaking on John Donne’s sonnet, exploring how a deeply religious person feels.\u00a0 See poem below:
\nSonnet #14 by John Donne (1572-1631)<\/p>\n
Batter my heart, three-person\u2019d God, for you
\nAs yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
\nThat I may rise and stand, o\u2019erthrow me, and bend
\nYour force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.<\/p>\n
I, like an unsurp\u2019d town to another due,
\nLabor to admit you, but oh, to no end;
\nReason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
\nBut is captive\u2019s, and proves weak or untrue.<\/p>\n
Yet dearly I love you, and would be love\u2019d fain,
\nBut am betroth\u2019d unto\u00a0 your enemy;
\nDivorce me, untie or break that knowt again.<\/p>\n
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
\nExcept you enthrall me, never shall be free,
\nNor ever chaste, except you ravish me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
