More on Donne's "Ecstasy." The strange proto-modernism of Donne's addressees. Their consciously dramatic quality -- that is we're supposed to be conscious that their speaker is being dramatic, and that the drama is for us. As in "The Sun Rising," with its female speaker. Why a female speaker? Then we begin on "Love's Alchemy."
