To Daffodils

FAIR daffodils, we weep to see
;You haste away so soon
As yet the early-rising sun
.Has not attain'd his noon
Stay, stay
Until the hasting day
Has run
;But to the evensong
And, having pray'd together, we
.Will go with you along

.We have short time to stay, as you
;We have as short a spring
As quick a growth to meet decay
.As you, or anything
We die
As your hours do, and dry
Away
;Like to the summer's rain
Or as the pearls of morning's dew
.Ne'er to be found again

I 1591- 1674

To Daffodils" is a poem written by Robert Herrick"
It is about a shortness of flower's life as a shortness of a good thing's life

The flowers come early and leave early to show it have a short time
Not only the daffodils, but also the hasting day
The speaker likens a short time of life as a short time of spring
Also as a summer's rain and morning dew

Short explanation

FAIR daffodils, we weep to see
;You haste away so soon

يصف الشاعر مجموعة من الأزهار بالجمال ويخبرها بحزنه لأنها ستموت قريبا

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

As yet the early-rising sun
.Has not attain'd his noon

يصور الشاعر قصر حياة تلك الزهور الجميلة فيقول
أنها تولد في الصباح الباكر وتموت قبل أن تسطع الشمس في كبد السماء
( يقصد هنا أنها رغم قصر حياتها إلا أنها لا تعيش حتى المساء)

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

Stay, stay
Until the hasting day
Has run
;But to the evensong
And, having pray'd together, we
.Will go with you along

ينادي الشاعر الزهور ويؤكد عليها بأن تبقى معه ليستمتع بجمالها وليدعوا معا إلى أن يموتا سويا

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

.We have short time to stay, as you
;We have as short a spring
As quick a growth to meet decay
.As you, or anything

يصور الشاعر الحياة الإنسانية فيقول أنها أيضا مدة قصيرة فهي كمثل فصل الربيع
في ظهوره وجماله وفي زواله بعد حين

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

We die
As your hours do, and dry
Away
;Like to the summer's rain
Or as the pearls of morning's dew
.Ne'er to be found again

يصور الشاعر الحياة الإنسانية في صور جميلة, فقد صورها بأمطار الصيف
التي سرعان ما تنقضي وبقطرات الندى في الصباح التي تختفي بظهور الشمس.

Death be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
;Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
.Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow
And soonest our best men with thee do go
.Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men

;And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell

And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well

?And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then

One short sleep past, we wake eternally
.And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die

II 1572 -1631

"Death be not proud" is a poem written by John Donne
John Donne is a leader of metaphysical poets

(من مميزات شعرهم : المبالغة في الوصف وأيضا مخاطبة العقل أكثر من العواطف)

The speaker talks to death that you should not be proud of yourself.
Some people think you are mighty and dreadful
He tells that those whom Death thinks it kills do not truly die.
Rest and sleep are a kind of death, but they are pleasurable.

Thou art slave to fate: he personified Death to be slave
These two things poppy and charms also can make us sleep and rest but they are better than death
So why are you proud?O
Finally, we came to life again after death. We wake to eternally life. Then, he says Death you shall die not us

Short explanation

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
;Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow

يخاطب الشاعر الموت فيقول أيها الموت لا تتكبر ,
ولو وصفك بعض الناس بالقاهر والمرعب ,
فأنت لست إلا تتوهم ذلك.

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

.Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow

يتحدى الشاعر الموت فيقول أيها الموت المسكين لن تستطيع قتلي.
واعلم أن الراحة والنوم شكل من أشكالك المليئة بالأُنس والتي تزداد أكثر معك.

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

And soonest our best men with thee do go
.Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery

وسرعان ما تريح أجساد خيرة رجالنا وتحرر أرواحهم.

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men
;And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell

يشبه الشاعر الموت بأنه عبد للقضاء والقدر والملوك والقتلة من الرجال.
وأنه بالسموم والأوبئة والحروب يحيى

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
?And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then

يستطرد الشاعر مخاطبته للموت فيقول بأن العقاقير والتعاويذ
تجعلنا أيضا ننام ولكنها أفضل منك.
فعلام التكبر؟

،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛،؛

One short sleep past, we wake eternally
.And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die

يختم الشاعر الأبيات بقوله غفوة قصيرة ثم نحيا حياة أبدية
لا يوجد بها موت لأنك حينها أنت من سيكون ميتا.

In my opinion, there are different between these two poems in thinking and thought.
One of them thinks that all things will face death whereas the other thinks that death is not the end.
It is clear that John Donne's thoughts likes in one side the thoughts of Islam about death but is it John Donne's believe?O
I think Donne feared death. So, he tried to get himself strength by writing this poem

Do you agree with me?o

...Hi, shooog

!I don't know what to say, I'm impressed

You are at an advanced and improved level in
...choosing the subject and in presenting it

.Poetry, an art shows how its creator expresss his feelings

.I see that you have chosen an important fact to present, Death

Death, of course, has a different shapes to the people
.depending on many facts such as believes and habits

,These two whom you mentioned their poems
,I beleive that they live under different kind of life
:so that is why

there are different between these two poems in thinking and thought

...Thank you shooog for your unique topic
^^ I'm looking forward for what you hide for us

والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

[shooog]

Thank you for reading the subject
Nice to see you here

Also, I don't know what to say too, thank you

About the poetry, I like the second one than the first.
The second has factual emotions which are expressed by his deep fright.
This is what I think and what it really happened after this poem.

Thank you AIKEN

Thank you shoog for this great topic
The way you presented the two poems attracted my atention alot

As for me. I prefered the first poem
I felt that the comparrision between human and the daffofils
was appropriate.
The poet shows that the the flower won't die alone
Even man dies.
The difference is between the period of each one's life
In fact, I enjoyed reading it alot

The second poem was great too
The poet has a challenging character
Even that the he might die any moment
because Death can take his life, he wasn't afraid from it
And he was misunderstimating the power of death
by comparing it with charms and poppy

Thank you for these great poems shoog
And I'm looking forward to seeing your next topics
