The Legacy, cont.  “We have no poet today…who can skip from the heights of scholastic philosophy to the heights of carnal passion, from the contemplation of divinity to the contemplation of a flea, from the rapt examination of self to an enumeration of the most remote external facts of science and make all, by his strangely passionate apprehension, into an intensely lyrical poetry.” – Aldous Huxley

Death Be Not Proud  Written as part of his “Holy Sonnets”  Employs metaphorical conceit throughout; personifies death  Mocking tone derides death and dismisses the fear that people attribute to it  Makes the point that death isn’t the horrible and all- powerful force people think it is
