Classic Poetry

I love this excerpt of John Donne's "The Bait". Donne was a poet and satirist who lived many, many moons ago (late 1500s-early 1600s). The whole poem is beautiful, but this is my favorite stanza.

For any movie lovers out there who recognize it, this excerpt was recited in the 1994 film Jason's Lyric.

"Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands and crystal brooks,
With silken lines and silver hooks."

I hope your Tuesday was terrific.

-T. Amour
