I've been askedto give a talk next fall to a mixed audience of scholars (not necessarily of English lit or even of our period of interest) and blue-haired and bald lay persons on the subject of Donne studies as they burgeoned under the impetus of Eliot and as they supposedly gave way to interest in Milto...

The Pope quotes Donne

Not really, but close:
"Love is indeed “ecstasy”, not in the sense of a moment of intoxication, but rather as a journey, an ongoing exodus out of the closed inward-looking self towards its liberation through self-giving, and thus towards authentic self-discovery and indeed the discovery of G...

A Sonnet found in a Sermon

The ashes of an Oak in the Chimney, are no Epitaph of that Oak, to tell me how high or how large that was; It tels me not what flocks it sheltered while it stood, nor what men it hurt when it fell. The dust of great persons’ graves is speechlesse too; it says nothing, it distinguishes nothing. As soon the dust...

Apparently, it was about a God that gives and takes away. A God of peace and one of thunder. Does anyone have a good guess what this poem wou...
