Although the poet John Donne lived so long ago, some phrases from his writing still linger with us today, such as "e;no man is an island,"e; "e;death be not proud,"e; and "e;for whom the bell tolls,"e; which provided the title for one of Ernest Hemingway’s novels.John Donne used poems as a means of metaphysical inquiry and meditation as well as for very sensual expression. His daringly original use of imagery and conceits to lead the mind to profound understandings marked a new, intellectual approach to poetry. Like Shakespeare, Donne was a genius at making common words yield up rich, poetic meaning. His thought is complex, but his poems unfold in a logical way.This collection includes songs, satires, elegies, selections from The Anniversaries, and divine poems.Contents are:I.
