THE SUNRISINGShe’s all States, and all Princes I ;Nothing else is. Princes do play us ;compared to this, All honour’s mimic ;all wealth alchemy. Thou, Sun, arthalf as happy as we, In that theworld’s contracted thus ; Thine ageasks ease, and since thy duties be Towarm the world, that’s done inwarming us. Shine here to us, andthou art everywhere ; This bed thycentre is, these walls thy sphere.Busy old fool, unruly Sun, Why dostthou thus, Through windows andthrough curtains call on us ? Must to thymotions lovers’ seasons run ? Saucypedantic wretch, go chide Lateschool-boys, and sour ’prentices, Go tellcourt-huntsmen that the King will ride,Call country ants to harvest offices ;Love, all alike, no season knows, norclime, Nor hours, days, months, whichare the rags of timeThy beams, so reverend and strong Why shouldstthou think? I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,But that I would not lose her sight so long : If her eyeshave not blinded thine, Look, and tomorrow late tellme, Whether both the Indias of spice and mine Bewhere thou left’st them, or lie here with me. Ask forthose kings whom thou saw’st yesterday And thoushalt hear, ‘All here in one bed lay.’Almost 30 years before John Donne's birth in 1572,Copernicus had published his revolutionary theory of aheliocentric universe. Although it made little impact atthe time, later on, when Galileo was basing his ownastronomical research on the work of his predecessor,the theory scandalised the Church of Rome. In 1616,heliocentrism was officially pronounced "false andcontrary to scripture".‘ The sun rising ’ by John Donne is a Renaissance poem. It waspublished in 1633 after his death but the precise date when the poemwas written is not known. ‘The sun rising’ consists of thirty lines whichare divided into three stanzas. The poem contains two embracingquatrains followed by a couplet. The poem is written with a witty styleand much exaggeration. Donne is known for using imaginative writingand for being a metaphysical poet. The characteristics of this style are;witty humour, irony, the use of paradoxes and play with words. Themessuch as love, geography and cosmology, roman ce and man’srelationship with God, were often used by metaphysical poets.Bennet (1953) describes metaphysical poetry as poetry where ‘ emotions are shapedand expressed by logical reasoning, and both sound and picture are subservient tothis end. Words consecrated to poetry are avoided they prefer words in everyday usethey are soberly engaged in commerce or in scientific speculation’the first stanza gives the impression thatDonne is agitated and annoyed by the sun.The first line starts with a personification ofthe sun. Donne expresses that the sun isdisturbing ‘us’ by which he refers to twolovers. When he continues, he asks the sun togo away and to disturb others such asschool-boys and the huntsman. The readerlearns here that the poem will actually be amessage from the poet and his lover to thesun in other words the theme is revealed as alove poem.the next part Donne starts with a hyperbole which is actually presentthroughout the whole stanza . In the eleventh line he refers to thebeams as being sublime or ‘reverend’ and strong. In the followinglines, the sun is being mocked at by the poetical voice; he isquestioning whether the sun is more powerful than the notion ‘love’.For him it is obvious that love will conquer the sun as he saysironically in the next line ‘Why shoudst thou think’. In the next linesDonne is explaining why love is stronger. He explains in linethirteen that he can dissemble the sun in his universe by closing hiseyes ‘I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink’. This is actuallyimpossible in real life because even though a person closes hiseyes, the sun will still be present. But for the speaker the sun hasdisappeared in his ‘imaginative’ world of love.In line fifteen another hyperbole is beingused, the poet asks the sun whether hislove has not blinded the sun. Byexaggerating here, the author wants tomake clear that his love is very intenseand powerful. By using witty and humorousexaggerations, Donne uses anothercharacteristic of metaphysical poetry. It caneven be said that Donne goes beyond thisand links it to a deeper theme ‘the sanctityof the isolated’.This is especially remarkable in the last part of this stanza. The lover tells the sun to go visit faraway countries such as India but the sun can also stay because the whole world lies in bed with him. He says that the sun can askkings but that he and his lover are so powerful that even the kings will say that they are with them in bed. In other words, the couple is the most powerful of all because everyone lives in their love world. ‘All here in one bedlay’ , as expressed in line twenty explains this. The last part is actually ironic and witty, which characterizes the style of metaphysical poetry. The poetic voice challenges the sun by telling it to travel the world and findingsomeone of great power. This is actually impossible because the lover already knows that the love between him and his lover is more powerful than anything.Donne is questioning the sun as to why it came out. The malespeaker complains that the sun has disturbed the lovers. Hetells the sun to go away awake others. The sun is unimportantin comparison to the speaker’s lover. Tells the sun to shine onthe lover’s bed. Bed and walls are the centre and walls of theuniverse. The form of the poem is an aubade. Traditionalpoem or song lamenting the arrival of dawn to separate thelovers. The sun rising connotes the genitals rising.Personification of the sun assuming it to be an old fool andunruly. The sun being portrayed as a busybody. Sun and timesare the semantic fields.They believe their love will not be changed by time. The sun is a huge star but is compared with an ordinary human being. Importance of hours,days and months. His lover is the brightest star for him. Technique of hyperbole – turn bling by looking at his lover’s brightness. She’s exotic – spicy,exciting, a princess perhaps… Indian colonies. The caesura leaves space to think. To warm the world + shine here to us. This bed, thy center – if thesun warms them, it’ll warm the whole world. The sun is separating them. Saying that god made him realise that he was wrong. Shutting the eyeof day – in the poem he is trying to shut the sun out – planetary divination is an important concept.Haz doble clic en este nodo para editar el textoHaz clic en este nodo y arrástralo para crear uno nuevo
