Encænia. The Feast of Dedication. Celebrated At Lincolnes Inne, in a Sermon there upon Ascension day, 1623 (London: Printed by Aug. Mat. for Thomas Jones, 1623). Claude J. Summers and Ted-Larry Pebworth, eds., The Eagle and the Dove: Reassessing John Donne (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1986). Donne's Sermons: Selected Passages, edited, with an introduction, by Logan Pearsall Smith (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1919). In the writing of Donne’s middle years, skepticism darkened into a foreboding of imminent ruin. Such poems as the two memorial Anniversariesand “To the Countess of Salisbury” register an accelerating decline of our nature and condition in a cosmos that is itself disintegrating. In “The First Anniversary” the poet declares, “mankind decays so soon, /Weare scarce our fathers’ shadows cast at noon.” Yet Donne is not counseling despair here. On the contrary, the Anniversaries offer a sure way out of spiritual dilemma: “thou hast but one way, not to admit / The world’s infection, to be none of it” (“The First Anniversary”). Moreover, the poems propose that a countering force is at work that resists the world’s frantic rush toward its own ruin. Such amendment of corruption is the true purpose of our worldly being: “our business is, to rectify / Nature, to what she was” (“To Sir Edward Herbert, at Juliers”). But in the present state of the world, and ourselves, the task becomes heroic and calls for a singular resolution.

Biathanatos, edited by Ernest W. Sullivan II (Newark: University of Delaware Press / London: Associated University Presses, 1984). This is one of Donne’s most cynical poems: the speaker of the poem argues that finding a woman who will remain faithful is as impossible as catching a falling star from the sky. This is how one of Donne’s most celebrated poems begins. And it’s gloriously frank – it begins with Donne chastising the sun for peeping through the curtains, rousing him and his lover as they lie in bed together of a morning.

Mueller (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1971). A. J. Smith, ed., John Donne: The Critical Heritage (London & Boston: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1975). As this poem’s title suggests, it’s a poem of farewell, written by Donne for his wife Anne in 1611-12 before he left England to go on a mission to Europe. Utilising metaphors of compass points and alchemical processes to describe the relationship between the husband and wife, ‘A Valediction’ is one of the finest examples of Metaphysical poetry.Dennis Flynn, "Donne and the Ancient Catholic Nobility," English Literary Renaissance, 19 (Autumn 1989): 305-323. Louis L. Martz, The Poetry of Meditation: A Study in English Religious Literature of the Seventeenth Century (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1954). In ‘A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning’, Donne likens the relationship between him and his wife to a religious or spiritual bond between two souls: note that he uses the word ‘laity’ to describe other people who cannot understand the love the two of them bear one another.

John Donne: The Complete English Poems, edited by A. J. Smith (Harmondsworth, U.K.: Penguin, 1971). The Works of John Donne, D.D., Dean of Saint Pauls 1621-1631, With a memoir of his life, 6 volumes, edited by Henry Alford (London: John W. Parker, 1839). Donne characterizes our natural life in the world as a condition of flux and momentariness, which we may nonetheless turn to our advantage.” The tension of the poetry comes from the pull of divergent impulses in the argument itself. In “A Valediction: Of my Name in the Window,” the lover’s name scratched in his mistress’s window ought to serve as a talisman to keep her chaste; but then, as he explains to her, it may instead be an unwilling witness to her infidelity: Roberts, John Donne: An Annotated Bibliography of Modern Criticism, 1968-1978 (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1982).

La può addestrare come vuole, secondo i suoi gusti. Di solito imparano a tenere larga la figa mentre il padrone si sta scaricando poi vanno nella vasca da bagno perché si fanno pisciare addosso. Imparano a dire sempre grazie anche quando ricevono botte e capiscono che sono solo dei cessi e delle vacche da monta. Tempo quattro mesi ed è docile come una cagnolina, a quel punto la metto sul mercato come cagna da compagnia, ci guadagni bene così.
