A Donne A Day 8: “The Canonization”
Today's Donne is particularly interesting, as it combines great dramatic urgency with considerable complexity. Its diction is rough, tender, hyperbolic, minutely observant. Its sentiments are both inflated and moving.

As I write this there are enormous threads on DailyKos and Fark about This article by Orson Scott Card.
