Pretty much a close reading of that poem, and its paradoxes, partly via Donne's\xa0paradox\xa0V that "All things kill themseluses." \xa0We raised and thought about the question what makes death\xa0an appropriate punishment for sin. \xa0What is it that Donne is "mourning for a space"? \xa0I thought this was a pretty good discussion.
