Multimodal Donne Annotation: Stage 3

HOLY SONNETS. "John Donne - Biography and Works."
XII.
Why are we by all creatures waited on ? <http://www.archive.org/details/holy_sonnets_drb_librivox>
Why do the prodigal elements supply
Life and food to me, being more pure than I, <"Man Vs. God - WSJ.com.">
Simpler and further from corruption ?
Why brook'st thou, ignorant horse, subjection ?
Why dost thou, bull and boar, so sillily
Dissemble weakness, and by one man's stroke die,
Whose whole kind you might swallow and feed upon ?
Weaker I am, woe's me, and worse than you ;
You have not sinn'd, nor need be timorous.
But wonder at a greater, for to us
Created nature doth these things subdue ; <"Coma versus Comma: John Donne's Holy Sonnets in Edson's WIT." >
But their Creator, whom sin, nor nature tied,
For us, His creatures, and His foes, hath died. <"Why Did Jesus Have to Die for Our Sins? | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry." >

  1. I don't get it!
    Sorry, but this isn't an annotation of a poem. This is just sources thrown inside of the poem. It seems like you have some idea how this is going to be used, however you need to show that.

  2. Yeah sorry, I'm confused too. However, the website idea is a good idea. I know for this draft I was pressed for time when submitting it. I'm sure you will be fine by Friday.
