Batter my heart, three-person’d God; for you As ye · John Donne

Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and despera

Batter my heart, three-person’d God; for you As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend.

John Donne was a leading figure of the metaphysical poets, renowned for his intellectual and passionate verse that explored complex themes of love, death, religion, and the human condition. His poetry is characterized by its ingenious conceits, sharp wit, and a profound exploration of spiritual and physical experiences. Donne's career spanned roles as a poet, lawyer, and Anglican priest, culminating in his appointment as Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. His works, including "Songs and Sonnets" and "Holy Sonnets," continue to be celebrated for their originality, emotional depth, and theological insight.
