ir divas vērtības, kas man parasti uzlabo pašsajūtu, ja kaut kas nav lāgā. tādiem vieglākiem gadījumiem, kad vienkārši vajag kādu, kurš iedvesmojoši pasaka c'mon, cheer up!, es skatos Singin' in the rain. smagākiem gadījumiem, kad pasaule liekas zudusi un norakstīta, ir John Donne dzeja. šodiena, piemēram, ir smaga diena, tāpēc starp daudzajiem skolas tab'iem vislaik vaļā arī John Donne.

HYMN TO GOD, MY GOD, IN MY SICKNESS.


SINCE I am coming to that Holy room, 
    Where, with Thy choir of saints for evermore, 
I shall be made Thy music ; as I come 
    I tune the instrument here at the door, 
    And what I must do then, think here before ; 

Whilst my physicians by their love are grown 
    Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie 
Flat on this bed, that by them may be shown 
    That this is my south-west discovery, 
    Per fretum febris, by these straits to die ; 

I joy, that in these straits I see my west ; 
    For, though those currents yield return to none, 
What shall my west hurt me ?  As west and east 
    In all flat maps—and I am one—are one, 
    So death doth touch the resurrection. 

Is the Pacific sea my home ?  Or are 
    The eastern riches ?  Is Jerusalem ? 
Anyan, and Magellan, and Gibraltar ? 
    All straits, and none but straits, are ways to them 
    Whether where Japhet dwelt, or Cham, or Shem. 

We think that Paradise and Calvary, 
    Christ's cross and Adam's tree, stood in one place ; 
Look, Lord, and find both Adams met in me ; 
    As the first Adam's sweat surrounds my face, 
    May the last Adam's blood my soul embrace. 

So, in His purple wrapp'd, receive me, Lord ; 
    By these His thorns, give me His other crown ; 
And as to others' souls I preach'd Thy word, 
    Be this my text, my sermon to mine own, 
    “Therefore that He may raise, the Lord throws down.”
