Review: The Selected Poetry of John Donne


The Selected Poetry of John DonneThe Selected Poetry of John Donne by John Donne

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Primrose, Being at Montgomery Castle,
upon the Hill, on Which it is Situated

Upon this primrose hill,
Where, if Heaven would distill
A shower of rain, each several drop might go
To his own primrose, and grow manna so;
And where their form, and their infinity

Make a terrestrial galaxy,
As the small stars do in the sky:
I walk to find a true love; and I see
That 'tis not a mere woman, that is she,
But must, or more, or less than woman be.

(cont.)


Great stars share Life & Love so may prosper:
According to lines 5 and 6 are we so directed
to mirror the Divine Will of the Creator here
on Earth, as it is in Heaven. So may Humanity
support expansion of happiness in ALL BEINGS.

Cheers,
Christopher
