Essay --

Courtney PetersEssay 1 Rough DraftENG 3082/21/14Donne The Imprint leftover behindEvery writer leaves his mark, his take form, in his writing a undulate print left behind the ink if you know how to look for it, and Donne is no exception. The problem is extracting Donnes sculptural relief, and essence, from the meter, and run intoing what that tells us about him. In iodin poem in particular this stands out, his Holy praise IX, where Donnes imprint lingers, giving another story behind the text, of his belief in God, notwithstanding also his inner questioning, and confliction and doubt which come out as contradictions. Behind the text, Holy Sonnet IX, as Donne speaks through his speaker and poem, we come to on a lower floorstand that he is a religious man, though conflicted, which leads to doubt and contradictions, as he resents God in a way, while also just want for his absolution and for him to forget and forgive his sins and wash them away, sins which weigh on him heavily and he believes taint him.Looking at Donnes Holy Sonnet IX, you can see where move of his self are hidden under the text, if you only know how to look and how to interpret what you find. Donne repeats I throughout the poem three times, and while doing so he not only reflects parts of his inner self, but changes his stand point each time. In the setoff instance of I, Donne writes, If lecherous goats, if serpents envious/Cannot be damnd Alas why should I bee? (3-4). Here he questions God, demanding to know why he should be blamed when the lecherous goats, and serpents cannot not be condemned and damned for their sins. The second instance of I however writes, But whou am I, that dare dispute with thee/O God? Oh of thine onely worthy blood, where he shifts from angrily questioning... ...e disregarded and he is not damned by them. The illusion and imagery strain the severity of his desire for God to forget his sins, the sins which he emphasizes by referring to them as black sins utilizing severe language in calling them thus, to further darken the already negative connotation of his sins and their evilness. The allusion speaks of the greatness of Donnes sorrow, in that he would cry a river, his wish in the end, more than anything, for his sins to be bury and him undammed, and his thoughts on sins, that they are black, his darkness, his taint, his embarrassment, indebting him to God who in turn damns him.-- Create a conclusion, short, but sums upWhat I mean by ImprintHow his imprint shines throu, aka, what we learn of him fromHis usage of IHis patternHis allusions, imagery, and languageShould be one per paragraph for most
