(8) Snow Line
This is a poem that will give you a workout. In particular, John Donne's famous conceits will have you trying to puzzle out how two lovers, who are hypothetical saints, can have eyes that are like mirrors (which are confusingly called "glasses") that can see the whole world and also its soul. Throw in some seventeenth-century syntax and vocabulary, and the climb gets pretty steep on this one. But you'll never walk alone, Shmoopers. We'll be here to guide you through the twists and turns.
