]]> Comment on Sadie and Maud by Amanda http://www.ariyam.com/2005/11/05/sadie-and-maud/#comment-128353 Amanda Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:25:59 +0000 http://www.ariyam.com/2005/11/05/sadie-and-maud/#comment-128353 I believe that there is the posibility that Maud did lead a happy life. Who's to say that she didn't have any children or a husband at one point? Although that is what I think, I do agree that the poem is meant to show that Sadie lead a good life though she didn't have a good education.

]]> Comment on Death be Not Proud by Paul Hogue http://www.ariyam.com/2005/11/06/death-be-not-proud/#comment-126581 Paul Hogue Sun, 10 Jul 2011 13:42:03 +0000 http://www.ariyam.com/2005/12/18/death-be-not-proud/#comment-126581 I know this posting is a few years old. I'm not sure what drove me to look up the poem today. I appreciate your analysis, but I think you've got it partly wrong toward the end. Although grouped into the "Holy Sonnets," I think Donne went out of his way to make the poem more universal than just a statement of Christian theology. There is no invocation of God or Jesus, not even the inclusion of the capitalized "Him." It may well fall in line with Christian theology, but the poem, read from the beginning, is an argument. He is building the idea that death is inconsequential, or at least unworthy of defeating the reader. He sees the reader, and likely himself, as suffering from loss of someone close, and provides them comfort. In the argument, like a private conversation or even a motivational speech, the flippancy in the middle of the poem is intended to raise a smile in the darkness of bereavement. The sense of loss is not restricted to those of the Christian faith, and neither is the intended comfort or inspiration. The idea of waking "eternally" was available to non-believers even then, if only philosophically, and John Donne was aware of this. More importantly, Donne does not abandon his ideals by making the end universal...it may reflect his religious belief, but doesn't mirror it. I know this posting is a few years old.

Downloaded (potentially) great software, but new little netbook is having problems running it. (Samsung nc10, running xp) Left side of screen displays play titles, right side scenes etc., but middle screen (where text/dialogue ought to be) is blank. When I "select all," it turns middle screen black and text appears white. What gives? Dick Hi.
