Ah to love is to be a fool, to tell your love is to be a double fool. But to be a triple fool? How does one do that?
John Donne will show you how.
In this special episode I go in to this poem with no prep. That means you will experience a live analysis and exploration of this poem. There will be times when I say "oh I was wrong about that interpretation, I'm quite sure it means this." And, "hmm what does this mean!?" I hope by the end you will see that there is intense exercise for the mind in exploring great poetry.
