The flee by John Donne


THE FLEA.
by John Donne


MARK but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is ;
It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee, 
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead ;
    Yet this enjoys before it woo,
    And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two ;
    And this, alas ! is more than we would do.

O stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, yea, more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is.
Though parents grudge, and you, we're met,
And cloister'd in these living walls of jet.
    Though use make you apt to kill me,
    Let not to that self-murder added be,
    And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.

Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?
Wherein could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it suck'd from thee?
Yet thou triumph'st, and say'st that thou
Find'st not thyself nor me the weaker now.
'Tis true ; then learn how false fears be ;
Just so much honour, when thou yield'st to me,
Will waste, as this flea's death took life from thee.

11th HOUR DOUBTS



11th HOUR DOUBTS
Tens and twenties hours elapsed
Eleventh hour has finally reached.
Highly hectic schedules
Keeps, all on their toes.
The hour, seems wizen faced
But, made everyone much dazed.
Not a query throughout the year
Now after the teacher with much care.
Ensuing exams loaded with doubts
Haggle! Even for a half, half marks,
My God! What seriousness.
Really puzzles novices.
Round the year did nothing
Now in want of everything!
Dears have not eleventh hour doubts,
They hardly bring your success.
Slow and steady always win the race,
May be true even in your case.



Dedicated to
all my students

TOP 10 FACTS ABOUT ENGLISH LANGUAGE



(10). The Oldest word in English Language is “Town”. You may have been thinking of more old word used in Old English which are now abandoned. but believe me this word is hell old than any other word in English.
(9). There are three era’s of English in which English as a language progressed differently and in different cultures. i.e
  • The Old English
  • The Middle aged English
  • The Modern English
(8). There is a word “Ough” which can be written and pronounced in 9 different ways. Weird na? . Lets read this sentence below and then tell us isn’t that fact a true one.
“A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough;
after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed”
(7). Not Even in United States, English now has become the most spoken and official language of other countries too. There are millions of people around the globe who are English Speakers apart from being Native Americans. the fact goes like this that more than 250 million People in US only have English as their primary language.
(6). There have been many arguments regarding the fact that which is the longest sensible and meaningful word in English. But now Oxford Modern English has stated “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis” to be the longest word which is 45 Characters long. And its plural is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis which is the longest plural word.
(5). A most common fact is that there is a sentence you can type again and again on QWERTY keyboard in order to master in typing. The sentence is
“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
(4). In English some words only exist in the plural forms, and amazingly some dont end up getting s to be plural. Let’s check out. Glasses, binoculars, tongs, shears etc are used only as plural words. Pant is a single word and its plural is also pant not pants. :p
(3).The word ” Goodbye” came and derived from the word ” GodBye” used in Old English which used to meant that “God be with you”.
(2). The most interesting thing is that in Illinois, speaking the official English most people speak is a crime under their law. They are asked to speak “American” language. Amazed.
(1). And the last and the best thing about this language is that English has the most vocabulary and it contains more than 1 million terms which can be utilized but according to a survey , we only speak 6,000-8,000 of all these terms at the time. Thus we can conclude the vast approach and incredibility of the English Language and can easily analyze thus that why is English the most popular language on the planet we are living.
