Selection of Divine Poems
by John Donne
'Selection of Divine Poems' Summary
This collection of John Donne's divine poems, written during his life and at the time of his declining health, offers a deep exploration of his spiritual journey. Donne's poems are a testament to his faith, his wrestling with personal struggles, and his profound understanding of human nature. He examines the complexities of love, both earthly and divine, and grapples with the inevitability of death and the mystery of what lies beyond.
