Analysis and comments on Holy Sonnet X: Death Be Not Proud by John Donne

Comment 4 of 4, added on March 18th, 2006 at 9:29 PM.

When moved by emotion I often try to write. Words always oversimplify. This poet was able to capture so much emotion and feeling and true thought. I can not say enough about what his words mean to me.

i find the poem awesome because it is really the reality of every man in the world.All of us will experience death. when that time comes we should not be afraid because there is an eternal life waiting for us in heaven with our creator.and that i strongly believe.
