    JOHN Donne’s view of death is not one of a cynic. He is a man who regards death not as the final battle of life‚ but rather in the Christian sense‚ of it being just a transfer of the soul from the earthly plain to its final destination. He considers death not to be an event to be held in fear‚ but one that is to be understood. He believes so strongly in this philosophy that in Sonnet 10‚ he instructs people not to fear death. He insults death‚ personifying it as a person who has a far greater reputation

    Poems used: John Keats’ ’On the Sonnet’ 1848 If by dull rhymes our English must be chained‚  And‚ like Andromeda‚ the Sonnet sweet  Fettered‚ in spite of painéd loveliness;  Let us find out‚ if we must be constrained‚  Sandals more interwoven and complete  To fit the naked foot of poesy;  Let us inspect the lyre‚ and weigh the stress  Of every chord‚ and see what may be gained  By ear industrious‚ and attention meet;  Misers of sound and syllable‚ no less  Than Midas of his coinage‚
