ON DONNE'S POETRY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WITH DONNE, WHOSE MUSE ON DROMEDARY TROTS
Last Line: WIT'S FORGE AND FIRE-BLAST, MEANING'S PRESS AND SCREW.
Subject(s): DONNE, JOHN (1572-1631); POETRY & POETS;
With Donne, whose muse on dromedary trots,
Wreathe iron pokers into true-love knots;
Rhyme's sturdy cripple, fancy's maze and clue,
Wit's forge and fire-blast, meaning's press and screw.
