 Elegy: The Dream

                           John Donne 


                John Donne's Elegy X with the title "The Dream" is about a lover confession on his love for beloved and the difference between Dream and Reality. The poem opens with a comparison between lovers' heart and a coin. The poet has used image of coin for the expression of love. The way a coin is impressed with the image of his beloved. The way image of a king sings  to coin , her image gives honour and importance to his heart. The lovers says that only those who are weak in their spirit bother for honour. He doesn't care for honour because he believes that her image has given honour to him.


                The lover going a head in his confessions mentions that when  she goes away , his reasoning  ends and there begins empires of fantasy. The lover is of opinion that fantasy can't give him the joy of that height which real presence can give.  The reason is the joy given by fantasy is convened and preoperational . Her real arrival has the capacity of giving the joy of shocks also.  If the lover dream's he would like to have dream  about her. The lover considers sleep a great escape from pain because sleep locks the process of thinking when the lover gets up after his sleep , he won't repent for the end of dream . He would like to write sonnets on his beloved instead of passing time in wiping for his beloved. He considers himself grown  with her love. He would like to be called mad in her love rather than an idiot without love for anyone.

"સામાજીક ચેતનાની આધારભુત ભારત ના ભગલાંના વિષયની છે ને તેમછતા ભારતના વિભાજન કરતા એ વિભાજન ને કારણે પાત્રોની બદલાતી આવતી નિયતિ નિરૂપનનો વિષય છે."  કંચનબા ની પીડા,દુઃખો ને વેદના ને   ભુતકાળ માંથી એ વર્તમાન ને  નવો અર્થ આપે છે.

મરણટીપ

                                              મરણટીપ                                                           - માય ડીયર જયુ            My Dear Jayu is well known writer of Gujarati literature. One has to read his works to understand the meaning of pain and suffering.  "Marantip" is small  Navlika. While reading and  after  reading, one can't get much pleasure or aesthetic delight but some how it reflects the reality of life and human beings. One must be thought about it after reading.                 It starts with smoothly conversation  between husband and wife. then it moves with flashback technique. What is the meaning of life ? we have to find out. but Luckily  people have their own and different answers. Life is meant to be journey only. I found the anxiety  of Existentialism in story.  Sometimes, Characters are not able to understand their own voices which come from within as sometimes we also fail to understand. મરણટીપમાં .........
