Details

This will be a pretty unstructured discussion, an exchange of impressions, if you will. This particular meditation of Donne's has been with me for a long time, and it resonates and mesmerizes, in spite of...practically everything. Anyone else with feelings about Meditation 17 or Donne in general, feel free to come and share. The particular text, for reference: https://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/donne/meditation17.php Not the whole thing, but who doesn't love Orson Welles, if you prefer an audio version. It has the most famous part, anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDbCgoWfvRY I'm not recommending any other videos, but if you want to do some research for yourself, knock yourself out. I might share one or two in-discussion, just so I won't have to remember too many details at once.
