XVII.
Since she whom I loved hath paid her last debt
To Nature, and to hers, and my good is dead,
And her soul early into heaven ravishèd,
Wholly on heavenly things my mind is set.
Here the admiring her my mind did whet
To seek thee, God; so streams do show the head;
But though I have found thee, and thou my thirst hast fed,
A holy thirsty dropsy melts me yet.
But why should I beg more love, whenas thou
Dost woo my soul, for hers offering all thine:
And dost not only fear lest I allow
My love to saints and angels, things divine,
But in thy tender jealousy dost doubt
Lest the world, flesh, yea, devil put thee out.
Donne, John. Poems of John Donne. vol I.
E. K. Chambers, ed. London: Lawrence & Bullen, 1896. 162-163.
My annotations will be in the form of either tabs or hyperlinks on the annotated area so by either hovering over the area or by clicking it (haven't quite worked out how I'm going to do this), website will take you to an in-depth description of the annotation. I'm trying to design it right now but the website is still not up yet so I don't have the actual link yet. The annotations will deal with Death and how this sonnet compares with the other sonnets on similar subjects.

The stage 3 looks really good with everything pretty much in order. Your second was very well presented so I know you way on track but for some reason I cannot scene stage 3. I don't know if its my vision or that I am color blind, but it appears invisible to me. I may be missing something but I do not think I can access your annotations.
ReplyDeleteI think this presents a solid framework for your final project. It works as an annotation. Make sure you know where you want to put each annotation and what each annotation will consist of. Be sure to consider how you will format the website. Will there be pictures? Of what? How many? Where? On the page? In the annotations? Also, come up with a good color scheme (arbitrary or meaningful) and layout for the site. Do you know where you will place the text of the poem? Does that mean anything? Does it matter to you? I'm just trying to throw out ideas so you can fill in your framework with a well-thought-out, poignant final annotation.
