Sonnets on Love and Death

By Jean de Sponde

Book Overview

Sponde takes a common theme of the century, man coming to terms with death, with his own death; yet this experience is set forth with so profound a conviction, it is so refined in a chemical sense, that we study the poems as pure experience. Sonnets are presented in original French with English translation and commentary.
