<p>Leuk dat je luistert naar The Soul in Paraphrase.</p>

<p>Het gedicht voor deze week is &#39;Batter my heart, three-personed God&#39; van John Donne (uit de <em>Holy Sonnets</em> 1633):</p>

<p>&#39;Batter my heart, three-personed God; for You<br>As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;<br>That I may rise and stand, o&#39;erthrow me, and bend<br>Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new.<br>I, like an usurped town to another due,<br>Labor to admit You, but O, to no end.<br>Reason, Your viceroy in me, me should defend,<br>But is captived, and proves weak or untrue.<br>Yet dearly I love You, and would be loved fain,<br>But am betrothed unto Your enemy;<br>Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,<br>Take me to You, imprison me, for I,<br>Except You enthral me, never shall be free,<br>Nor ever chaste, except You ravish me.&#39;</p>
