Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions Together With Death's Duel

by John Donne

Devotions upon Emergent Occasions is a collection of meditations, prayers, and spiritual reflections written by John Donne during a period of serious illness. The work is divided into 23 parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Christian faith. Donne's writing is deeply personal and introspective, and he explores themes such as the nature of suffering, the importance of faith, and the inevitability of death. Despite being written over 400 years ago, the Devotions remain a powerful and moving work of spiritual literature.
