Now, that in and of itself is a bit silly, since nearly 18 years of intermittent college most likely still has not come to an end, but the sentiment in my first line is the same. Those of us who suffer from some form of ADD, and I would say that mine may be simply that I am trying to take the whole world in at one time, are in need of more professors who seek to raise the level of consciousness in classroom discussion. As a non-fiction writer, I churn out tons of useless material with scattered moments of magic mixed in. I came across this as I strolled through the Internet looking for material for a client on Donne's Meditation 17. Though I consider myself well-read, especially in classics and those bits of literature which make up the standard banquet of high-school and collegiate freshman English courses, I had never cracked the pages on any of Donne's works. Thus, your podcast on this was an eye-opening experience. I doubt my article on this will have much influence or merit, but at least by coming here, I am changed by what I have found. Perhaps, in ekeing out my meager existence as a syllable peddler, I am finding that the writing is less for consumption by the world and more for my consumption of the world. So, you have my thanks.

I'm beginning to "get" why hearing can sometimes be a different pleasure from reading. Thanks, Joan Hi Gardner,

I’m beginning to “get” why hearing can sometimes be a different pleasure from reading.

Thanks,
