John Donne The Sun Rising
The Sun Rising by John Donne John Donne (pron.: /ˈdʌn/ DUN) (between 24 January and 19 June 1572[1] -- 31 March 1631) was an English poet, satirist, lawyer and a cleric in the Church of England.

I hope to die peacefully in my sleep with a smile on my face, like my grandfather did, not terrified and screaming like his passengers. Last night, in bed, my wife told me she had bought a pair of gardening shears. I replied that we already had a pair of gardening shears. She explained that these shears were of such a wonderful design and of such beauty that I could not fail to be impressed when I saw them. I said that I didn't want to see them, that her description was enough together with the knowledge that there was such a wonderful pair of garden shears that gave her such pleasure: and henceforth I would bask in the glow of ownership without ever once seeing these shears; it would become for me a religious belief, cool and Zen.

by John Donne
(used as the epigraph in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway)
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

The Sun Rising by John Donne
John Donne (pron.: /ˈdʌn/ DUN) (between 24 January and 19 June 1572[1] -- 31 March 1631) was an English poet, satirist, lawyer and a cleric in the Church of England. He is considered the pre-eminent representative of the metaphysical poets. His works are noted for their strong, sensual style and include sonnets, love poetry, religious poems, Latin translations, epigrams, elegies, songs, satires and sermons. His poetry is noted for its vibrancy of language and inventiveness of metaphor, especially compared to that of his contemporaries. Donne's style is characterised by abrupt openings and various paradoxes, ironies and dislocations. These features, along with his frequent dramatic or everyday speech rhythms, his tense syntax and his tough eloquence, were both a reaction against the smoothness of conventional Elizabethan poetry and an adaptation into English of European baroque and mannerist techniques. His early career was marked by poetry that bore immense knowledge of British society and he met that knowledge with sharp criticism. Another important theme in Donne's poetry is the idea of true religion, something that he spent much time considering and theorising about. He wrote secular poems as well as erotic and love poems. He is particularly famous for his mastery of metaphysical conceits.[3]
Despite his great education and poetic talents, Donne lived in poverty for several years, relying heavily on wealthy friends. He spent much of the money he inherited during and after his education on womanising, literature, pastimes, and travel. In 1601, Donne secretly married Anne More, with whom he had twelve children.[4] In 1615, he became an Anglican priest, although he did not want to take Anglican orders. He did so because King James I persistently ordered it. In 1621, he was appointed the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London. He also served as a member of parliament in 1601 and in 1614.

Der Wiener Schauspieler, Stimm- und Sprechkünstler Christian Reiner hat im Winter 2012/2013 mit seiner Aufnahme von Friedrich Hölderlins „Turmgedichten“ für Aufsehen bei Kritik und Publikum gesorgt. „Reiner kann die Musik hinter den Worten wecken“, urteilte die ‚Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung‘ und die ‚Süddeutsche Zeitung‘ konstatierte: „Der Gedichtvortrag gleicht einer Performance für das Soloinstrument Stimme“.
Christian Reiners zweite Aufnahme für ECM New Series ist nun der Lyrik des russisch/US-amerikanischen Dichters und Literaturnobelpreisträgers Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996) gewidmet: „Brodskys Große Elegie an John Donne halte ich für eines der Meisterwerke der Poesie.“
Brodskys berühmtes, frühes Langgedicht ist gleich in zwei Fassungen auf der CD zu hören – in der Übersetzung von Alexander Kaempfe und Heinrich Ost sowie in der Übertragung des im Februar diesen Jahres verstorbenen, polnischen Übersetzers Karl Dedecius. „Dass es in zwei solch unterschiedlichen, großartigen und zeitlosen Adaptionen ins Deutsche übertragen wurde, ist ein großes Glück“, betont Christian Reiner. „Jede davon brachte mich zu einer ganz eigenen Sprechweise und einem eigenen Rhythmus.“
Hinzu kommt auf der von Manfred Eicher und Wolf Wondratschek gemeinsam produzierten Aufnahme eine Auswahl von sieben kürzeren Gedichten aus der Zeit von 1958 bis 1992, die den Facettenreichtum der Sprache Brodskys hörbar werden lassen.

Per nessun altro, amore, avrei spezzato
questo beato sogno.
Buon tema alla ragione,
troppo forte per la fantasia.
Fosti saggia a destarmi. E tuttavia
tu non spezzi il mio sogno, lo prolunghi.
Tu così vera che pensarti basta
per fare veri i sogni e le favole storia.
Entra fra queste braccia. Se ti parve
meglio per me non sognar tutto il sogno
ora viviamo il resto.
Come il lampo o un bagliore di candela,
i tuoi occhi, non già il rumore, mi destarono.
Pure (giacché ami il vero)
io ti credetti sulle prime un angelo.
Ma quando vidi che mi vedevi in cuore
sapevi i miei pensieri oltre l'arte di un angelo,
quando sapesti il sogno, quando sapesti quando
la troppa gioia mi avrebbe destato
e venisti, confesso che profano
sarebbe stato crederti qualcos'altro da te.
Il venire, il restare ti rivelò: tu sola.
Ma ora il levarti ti fa dubitare
che tu non sia più tu.
Debole quell'amore di cui più forte è la paura
e non è tutto spirito limpido e valoroso
se è misto di timore, di pudore, di onore.
Forse, come le torce che debbono esser pronte
sono accese e rispente, così tu tratti me.
Venisti per accendermi, vai per venire. Ed io
sognerò nuovamente
quella speranza, ma per non morire.

I said that I didn't want to see them, that her description was enough together with the knowledge that there was such a wonderful pair of garden shears that gave her such pleasure: and henceforth I would bask in the glow of ownership without ever once seeing these shears; it would become for me a religious belief, cool and Zen. (I don't like gardening) When a neophyte asked the master "What is the meaning and purpose of life" , the master replied, "When I was in Hwan Hung Lo I had a robe made that weighed Seven Renmimbi."
Now that leads me to explain to you what a woman means by "romantic." She usually means a gift or a gesture made with regard for her needs and desires. This is good stuff guys, so prick up your ears. So, before scattering rose petals, buying flowers or a large box of chocolates, consider first whether she really wants to spend the evening sweeping up the rose petals, whether she has shown any interest in flowers and, if so, which particular ones - and, if she is watching her figure, whether a box of chocolates is exactly what she doesn't want.
Despite what you've heard, a frying pan can be a romantic gift. The circumstances would be that you remembered her saying last week that she needed a new frying pan. However it is not a good idea to gift wrap it. In fact it is not a good idea to say that it is a gift. What you say is, " I was passing that cook shop in the High Street, and remembered that you needed one of these..." It must be a superb frying pan, not one that fails as the-frying-pan-of-her-dreams. Frying pans are as romantic as garden shears. This is a very romantic gesture. It might even get you laid.
When I ask my wife what was the most romantic thing I ever did , without hesitation she replied "Watson." It happened that one year for Christmas I gave my wife a little book called "How to Care for Your Persian Kitting". Excitedly she went downstairs expecting to find a Persian Kitting. Then I explained that this was about Mental Ownership. The book was to help her visualise what it would be like if I ever sanctioned ownership of a Persian Kitting. It was The Next Best Thing. I could see that the PLW (Plucky Little Woman) was discomfited, but she gulped and carried on bravely.
My philosophy with regard to kittings was expressed in the words, No Way, No How. No furry vermin. No litter trays. No scratched furniture. I maintained this philosophy for a year. I still hold it inwardly, but I never mention that. I understand, being wise, that I am not the only person in the marriage and that my wishes must occasionally not prevail. Imagine, then, the PLW's surprise and delight when the following year I appeared with a real live chocolate Persian kitting whom I introduced as Watson.
Watson turned out to be even worse than what I had resigned myself to: I had steeled myself for the experience of malodorous litter trays and the ruin of all things scratchable. Watson was educationally subnormal, even for an inbred kitting he hadn't got any grain of sense whatever. He couldn't grasp elementary concepts. He would make attempt after attempt to get into an armchair by leaping over the arm and failing time after time instead of walking around the front and jumping on to the seat cushion. He would interpose himself between me and whatever I was doing at the time. His favourite hobby was picking the keycaps off my keyboard one by one with his claws. The horror was appalling - but it was worth it. As a romantic gesture, Watson can't be beaten.
Two monks were arguing about the temple flag waving in the wind.
One said, "The flag moves."
The other said, "The wind moves."
They argued back and forth but could not agree.
Hui-neng, the old patriarch, said: "Gentlemen! It is not the flag that moves. It is not the wind that moves. It is your mind that moves."
Then one monk said to the other, "For idiotic remarks, that can't be beaten. He must be the top cat around here. Is he called Watson?"
I only had to change one line of this famous story to correct its inherent error - did you notice which one?
I'm sorry I screwed up the video format. You will forgive me when I tell you that I had switched to PAL to make a video for a bloke who had imported my Ferrari into Australia. One of my Ferraris. Now honesty forces me to tell you that there were only two of them. Anyhow, I forgot to switch back.
