Holy Sonnet 14
The analogous language of romantic passion and intellectual paradox has always seemed natural to those seeking to understand and speak of spiritual mysteries. Even so, John Donne's image of the Divine Rape in “Batter My Heart, Three-Personed God, For You” (Holy Sonnet XIV), by which the victim becomes, or remains, chaste is at first startling; we are not accustomed to such spiritual intensity. In spite of the shocking character of the poem's imagery, the sonnet

Homecoming by Bruce Dawe
An appreciation of "Homecoming" by Bruce Dawe Dawe here dramatises the homecoming of Australian veterans' bodies from Vietnam. This is clearly an anti-war poem, reproducing in the seventies the sentiments of the First World War poets. In 25 lines of broken verse presented in one demanding stanza, Dawe recounts how "they are bringing" home the bodies "in deep freeze lockers"... zipped up "in green plastic bags" "bringing them home, now, too late."

Homosexuality
Homosexuality is known and practiced worldwide. However, that doesn’t mean that it is right. A common argument against homosexuality is that it is inherited, and that God can understand homosexuals.

This is seen in Genesis 19:1-10, and Judges 19:22-26. God has much to

Homosexuality in Paul’s Case
What is a homosexual? What is a homosexual in the 19th century? These two questions give completely two different answers. The difference is the time periods, now versus then. In the 19th century, there wasn’t an established “homosexual.” The topic of homosexuality was not discussed, nevertheless, in American literature (Rubin 130). “The public culture’s judgment [of]… same-sex sexuality was a subject to be denied, or even worse, bitterly denounced (Doyle 447).” But Willa Cather
