La corona
Book •
John Donne's 'La Corona' is a sequence of seven sonnets that form a crown-like structure through linked repetition.
Each sonnet focuses on a different aspect of Christ's life, from the Annunciation to the Ascension.
The last line of each sonnet becomes the first line of the next, creating a cyclical effect.
The final line of the seventh sonnet echoes the first line of the first, completing the crown.
This structure reflects the interconnectedness of Christ's life and the continuous cycle of salvation.
'La Corona' showcases Donne's intellectual complexity and his ability to blend theological themes with intricate poetic form.
