Description
John Donne's poems on heavenly and earthly love, delight and despair, beauty and betrayal, are rightly regarded as one of the glories of European civilisation, something every school child (and child of every age) should know

John Donne's poems warrant great study, being often mysterious in both language and context,
while being also beautiful, inspiring, annoying, repetitious, and memorable.

Most of the Love Poems deal with Death and Despair.
Only four resonated with me:
Love's Growth
Break of Day
Lover's Infinities
and - The Bait
