Welcome! This week we will be finishing up the following poems:
Parting
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning
John Donne (1572-1631)
When You Are Old
W.B. Yeats (1865-1939)
Remember to consider the following questions:
1) Is there a theme that can be traced throughout all three poems?
2) What is the importance of the circle Donne refers to at the end of his poem?
3) What does Dickinson mean when she says her "life closed twice before its close?"
Also remember to come to class with two questions of your own about one or more of the poems!!!
