John Donne
Meditation XVII : No man is an island...
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." This famous meditation of Donne's puts forth two essential ideas which are representative of the Renaissance era in which it was written: The idea that people are not isolated from one another, but that mankind is interconnected; and The vivid awareness of mortality that seems a natural outgrowth of a time when death was the constant companion of life. Donne brings these two themes together to affirm that any one man's death diminishes all of mankind, since all mankind is connected; yet that death itself is not so much to be feared as it at first seems. Join us in exploring these two main themes, which we have associated with the two controlling images of the meditation...the island and the bell
Isolation: The Island
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...

JOHN DONNE
Priest, Poet, and Preacher (31 March 1631)
From the above information, the reader might conclude that Donne's professed religious belief was mere opportunism. But the evidence of his poetry is that, long before his ordination, and probably beginning with his marriage, his thoughts were turned toward holiness, and he saw in his wife Anne (as Dante had earlier seen in Beatrice) a glimpse of the glory of God, and in human love a revelation of the nature of Divine Love. His poetry, mostly written before his ordination, includes poems both sacred and secular, full of wit, puns, paradoxes, and obscure allusions at whose meanings we can sometimes only guess, presenting amorous experience in religious terms and devotional experience in erotic terms, so that I have seen one poem of his both in a manual of devotion and in a pornography collection.

W zDD's HSC Info Page
Having finished the 1997 HSC, I was unwilling to sacrifice my pages of copious notes to the eternal flames - at least, without storing them somewhere first. Hence this page. That's basically all there is to it. Please read this before you start using my notes: As some may have noticed already (you bright young people, you), these are my notes . That means that they are taken in my style, to jog my memory, and focusing on the things about which I needed to take notes. You may or may not be the same. To spell it out: this means that these pages are no substitute for detailed in-class study and notes of your own. I hope they can help you, but you should not rely on them. Studying for the HSC is boring and tedious. If you'd like to help make it less so, please feel tempted to type up some of your notes (any popular format should be fine) and send them to the maintainer of this site, wzdd@lardcave.net Update: May, 2000: This page has moved to lardcave.net, and it will now stay here. I still have all my HSC notes; hopefully I can resume transcribing them. Update: September, 2001:

Donne, John
Born a Roman Catholic with Jesuit relatives, Donne did not go abroad to Douai to study, as was typical of English Roman Catholics of his time. Instead, he studied at Hart Hall, Oxford, and Trinity College, Cambridge. Afterward he studied law at Lincoln's Inn, London. He joined the staff of the Lord Chancellor, but eloped with his niece, Anne More, in 1601. Their marriage resulted in Donne losing his livelihood and being thrown into prison. Donne was known to the king, however, and after failing to secure a position in other fields of endeavor, he acceded to the king's desire that he enter the ordained ministry. He became Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London six years later. Donne is the first and greatest of the group known as the Metaphysical Poets. His Songs and sonnets and Elegies are variations on the theme of love, but they are not typical Elizabethan love-poems. They contain a suprising breadth in the range of human experience they describe, and in the spiritual imagery they employ. Donne's Divine Poems are marked by unsurpassed passion, and much of his poetry explores the paradox of sexual experience in the religious and spiritual force in earthly passions. His religious poetry is grounded in a deep sense of sin and the awareness of judgement. As T. S. Eliot has written, he "was much possessed by death," and some of his most powerful sermons vividly illustrate Donne's almost medieval awareness of the universality of dissolution: "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

Political and Social Criticism in "The Calme" by John Donne
John Donne's poem " The Calme ," though well known as a literary piece, may also be considered as a historical document. The poem, in addition to another of Donne's works entitled " The Storm This religious theme appears in lines 11 and 12 of "The Calme," in which the speaker claims: "As water did in storms, now pitch runs out;/ As lead, when a fir'd church becomes one spout." These lines combine the religious metaphor with the physical images of storm and calm to sustain a feeling of despondency with a sense of some sort of impending doom. The speaker claims the time of the storm corresponds with a kind of fluidity not present in its aftermath, comparing the flow of water during the storm with the running of "pitch" having the consistency of "lead," for which the church itself serves as a "spout," naming religion as a chief agent of this idleness attributed to "the calme." These repeated images display an unmistakable discontent with society and, especially, one of its key defining elements: the church. Donne combines this theme of religious discontent with a feeling of social despair and hopelessness evident in the following lines:
Only the calenture together draws
Dear friends, which meet dead in great fishes' jaws
