Meditation I decided to meditate on a day that I felt a little more stressed out and upset. I have been rather stressed out for a while and when this came up for a thing for extra credit I decided to actually give meditation a try. I was always kind of skeptical about it and wasn’t sure that it would actually work. I have been very stressed out over work and school and trying to get everything in order and figuring out a schedule. I also recently moved so I am still trying to get used to that

exploration of the human feelings‚ there was also a group of bold poets in the 17th Century who took their words to a rather analytical side of the abstracts aspects of life. John Donne‚ one of Metaphysical Poetry’s main figures‚ stands out for his choice of simple words to approach more complex themes of life. In ‘‘Holy Sonnet 10’’‚ Donne brings Death to human level in which he strongly criticizes it for being inferior to other mortal pleasures.

This is because the sun doesn’t call on anyone; this is also personification because the sun is given speech‚ a characteristic of

The Tragic and Weary Life described by Sylvia Townsend Warner’s “Anne Donne” In the poem Anne Donne‚ Townsend Warner expresses a very interesting yet heart rending story of the Donne’s life.

With that being said‚ the pieces of this poem make a much clearer puzzle. When Sylvia says‚ “And round my bed my live
