Carrie Stallings Honors English 10 Mrs. Graham April 25‚ 2013 The Miles Between As virtuous men pass mildly away‚ And whisper to their souls to go‚ Whilst some of their sad friends do say‚ “Now his breath goes‚” and some say‚ “No.” Sometimes‚ life is full of moments when we must do without‚ when we must sacrifice‚ and because of that‚ suffer.

Both John Donne and William Shakespeare view death with their opinions and we can see the differences straight from their poem. First of all‚ in John Donne¡¯s Holy Sonnet 10‚ he says that death is death and that death will never go away unless everything is dead. Donne‚ the Poet is pocking at death. Death itself dies when we wake in God’s arms‚ in heaven. "Though some have called thee / Mighty and dreadful‚ for thou art not so" (line1 1-2). This shows how the speaker addresses death as a person and

John Donne ’s position as a revered and respected poet is not unjustified. The depth and breath of literary works written about him along with the esteemed position he held among his comtemporaries is evidence of his popularity.
