Beautiful, thank you! “O little All” brings to mind Julian’s hazelnut, with its delicacy and surprising proportions.

I have just finished leading a presentation about John Donne. One of my participants mentioned a book by Katherine Rundell called Super-Infinite: Transformations of John Donne. I have ordered a copy. You can hear the author talking about her book on YouTube. She is passionate, beautiful and sexy. Rather like John Donne! Thank you for sharing Crashaw, and his beautiful poetry. I hadn't heard of him before, but now I want to read more of his work. Romeo says that Juliette is like the sun rising in the East. One could think of what Donne would have made of that!
