Almost Donne

Teaching "Holy Sonnet #9" and "Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" tomorrow. I know I won't have enough time--it's always a problem. I teach two discussion sections of the same large lecture class once a week. This amounts to seeing each of my students for 50 minutes each week. There are always office hours, of course, but students only like to visit office hours that aren't regularly scheduled.

How is John Donne like Al Green?
