Eulogy Contra Severance

after John Donne

prev .. next

As virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say
The breath goes now, and some say, No:

So let us melt, and make no noise,
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move;
'Twere profanation of our joys
To tell the laity our love.

Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears,
Men reckon what it did, and meant;
But trepidation of the spheres,
Though greater far, is innocent.

Dull sublunary lovers' love
(Whose soul is sense) cannot admit
Absence, because it doth remove
Those things which elemented it.

But we by a love so much refined,
That our selves know not what it is,
Inter-assured of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips, and hands to miss.

Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat.

If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;
Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if the other do.

And though it in the center sit,
Yet when the other far doth roam,
It leans and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home.

Such wilt thou be to me, who must,
Like th' other foot, obliquely run;
Thy firmness makes my circle just,
And makes me end where I begun.

As virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say
The breath goes now, and some say, No:

So let us melt, and make no noise,
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move.
The lips an angry between us
And between pieces of paper, is it two?

Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears,
Men reckon what it did, and meant;
But whomever do they, if they know
What they do they do, acts they ought, though they be three.

Silk soaked in oil is no more safe than salt is safe
(The way would be different!).
Still, you father, tears are an art
To inspire a bright future.

But we Catholic men, if we remove
Those things which elemented it,
Whose soul it docile, makes no assiduous
Resurrection, but only echo.

Our two souls therefore, which is divine,
Though somewhat dissimilar,
The circle is made of nines pieced together,
Like a pen tracing history, On a piano charted history.

So let us build our houses helictatively,
And hungrily open, each door and window,
Each door a mouth, and each window a window.
Each crevices tell a story.

And though it in the center sit,
Yet while it did, however,
An inner circle marked;
Thy soul, the centre roadside.

It never gets old,
Just fluctuates I read it,
Took place the past five years,
Future never comes while her work is done.
