metaphors), wit, huge range of ideas with startling connections between them, analyses love with different
moods (cynicism and profound dedication)

Going To Bed; Holy Sonnets (9, X, XIV); Hymn To God My God, in My Sickness.

Richard Crashaw: paradoxes, sensuous warmth, conceit as isolated ornament rather than integral part of
poem’s meaning
To the Noblest & best of Ladyes, the Countesse of Denbigh
