Analysis and comments on Holy Sonnet XVII: Since She Whom I Loved by John Donne

Comment 1 of 1, added on September 20th, 2005 at 5:08 AM.

in this poem, donne seems to ponder on the state of his relationship with God since his wife whom is a sort of connection is now dead. he seems frustrated even he know that now his gaze is set on heavenly things. he seems unsatisfied and i think even angry that God should take his wife from him.in the last two lines of the poem, he express the same fear of succumbing to the devil even if his love is to saints and angel things divine.
