What Do You Think of Dan's Love Poems?
In your view, Dan's love poetry is the most wonderful body of work anyone can imagine. Can you tell us why? Marianne mentioned the opening lines, and I think that speaks to the sheer force of poetic personality. This is really what comes across to us over the centuries. For God's sake hold your tongue and let me love. I do not die for I shall hate all women, so when they are gone. These are incredibly compelling, but it's not only that. There's all of the force combined with Dan's education in rhetoric and logic and disputation. The sheer audacity of the attempt is what strikes us.
