This struck a chord in my soul this morning as I read it for school. Takes a little bit of time to get past the antiquated phrasing, but it’s worth it. 🙂

To use Donne’s word, “ravishing!” Thank you for sharing this exquisite believer’s cry, Squid.

After the third read-through, I understood the essence of the poem. Yes, it is a worthwhile poem to unravel. The tension between what the writer wants and what he cannot help is poignant. It reminds me of Paul’s lament in Romans 7 about doing what he does not want to do, and not doing what he wants to do. I like the analogy of engagement “unto Your enemy” – a relationship we cannot ourselves divorce. Thanks for sharing!
