Oh it's healing bang, bang, bang



I like the sweet life
and the silence
But it's the storm that I believe in


A little late for Easter, but I had intended to post a reflection. So I picked two holy sonnets of sorts. The above from The Cardigans and below from John Donne.


"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, and make me new.
I, like an usurp'd town, to another due,
Labour to admit you, but O, to no end.
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
But is captived, and proves weak or untrue.
Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,
But am betroth'd unto your enemy ;
Divorce me, untie, or break that knot again,
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me."

- [ "Holy Sonnet XIV"]
