Feel free to post anything unrelated to wet shaving or men's grooming (I.e. cars, watches, pens, leather goods. You know, the finer things of life).

Read poetry today

Post by brothers »

I caught a snippet of a conversation a couple of days ago regarding something John Donne had written, so I pursued it today and found it: Death be not proud.
The overheard phrase that initially got my attention was this: . . . . One short sleep past, we wake eternally and death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
This was time well spent. I should do that more often.

John Donne is my favourite Metaphysical poet. I first came across his poetry in secondary school when I was sixteen and I've liked his work every since.
