I know that’s not the point of this essay AT ALL, but now, when I hear the song or read the sonnet, it will be the sound of that comma.

This was the balm I needed today. Oddly enough, Donne always soothes my spirit. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this, including the powerful video clip. I will turn now to the poem again to read it slowly, quietly, and twice.
