Lit 12: Donne and Herrick and Milton

We finished Death, be not proud today and I introduced carpe diem tradition in poetry and we took notes on the poet, Robert Herrick, and read, "To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time". A long discussion ensued about commitment, love, marriage and / or bachelorhood. We started to introduce John Milton but we ran out of time. Tomorrow, Stephanie will present the Restoration, and we'll do a sonnet by Milton.

Tuesday: Arrive with your novels read and have three passages chosen ready to discuss with your book club group.
