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!
I do love the idea and image of being called up to morning faces and morning hearts, knowing that our Sun and Comforter has given us a new day and we can do our best in it with HIs help. Strangely enough, on my morning walk in very hot Australia I today (it is 31 with 39 degrees Celsius on Monday) did pray for this exact thing - that I could have the help to be my best version of myself. Very interesting, as always. Congrats on the progress with your book.
Beautiful, thank you! “O little All” brings to mind Julian’s hazelnut, with its delicacy and surprising proportions.
I thought the same! Glad you thought of it too.

Super-Infinite is a wonderful book!
Insightful reading! Thank you for this introduction to Richard Crashaw. It's a joy to worship with believers from centuries past.
Thank you! It is such a joy.
