Today is the 377th anniversary of Donne's death. Since we don't know the exact birth date, he never gets mentioned on Garrison Keillor's poet's corner thing on NPR. But today Garrison did read Marvell's "The Definition of Love."
He is the great man. John Donne(1572- 1631) 11th age he went to Hart Hall at Oxford University, where he studied for 3 years, and then proceeded to Cambridge University for another 3 years.
