I don't know if we're still doing the order so i'll go ahead anyway...
Today we had a quiz comparing two similar stanzas one from Canonization and the other from valediction.
We dicussed the meaning of the peom. At first glance you would think it was about death and not mourn for it, but it clearly says in the title its the acceptance of saying goodbye. The first two stanzas are a similie bewtween two ways of saying good bye in the death sense. A virtuous man dies in peace, so peaceful in fact that some can't tell weather or not he has passed. The second dicussed the appropriatness of saying goodbye. Lovers should part similar to that of the deceased. We discussed the meaning of Trepidation of the Spheres. In the elizabethan times they beleived the earth was surronded by crystal spheres that vibrated giving off a sound waves/ soung of the universe. Those who were spiritually excelled could possibly hear the this song. This whole idea is showing how an earthquake's result matters less than that of the trepidation. Confusing eh?
