5/17: Holy Sonnets

I've often felt bad that I'd not read all of Donne's Holy Sonnets, so over the past few days I've worked through them, 1 or 2 at a time so that they wouldn't become a blur and I wouldn't become impatient. Here are some phrases I particularly liked:

"That I might in this holy discontent / Mourn with some fruit"

"I am a little world made cunningly / Of elements, and an angelic sprite"

"instantly unjoint"

"the round earth's imagined corners"

"a heavenly Lethean flood"
