Quotes from this book

The only thing that such a criticism leaves unexplained and undefined is the interest which Donne's poetry still has for us, not as an historical phenomenon, but as poetry.
What he relishes in a poet of the past is exactly the same essential qualities as he enjoys in a poet of his own day—life and passion and art.
