Synopsis
Excerpt from The Love Poems of John Donne
But Donne never made poetry his profession, and for the greater part of his life he was far more scholar and preacher than poet. His nature was extraordinarily complex. Heaven and Earth contended in it with a force that made his life a succession of alternating exaltation and depres sion, loftiness and baseness, rapture and despair.
