Devotions upon Emergent Occasions


<p>One of Donne's most important and haunting works in prose, <b>Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions</b> was composed in less than a month, during an illness that nearly cost the writer his life. Donne divided the book into twenty-three sections, each corresponding to a stage of his illness and each consisting of a meditation, an expostulation, and a prayer. Filled with powerful images of mortality and immortality that have moved readers throughout the centuries, it provides a coherent spiritual message relevant not only to Donne's life but to the lives of all people.</p>
