John Donne's "Hymne to God my God, in my sicknesse" and prevenient proximity
Heather Dubrow
pp. 93-110
Most critics have read this poem as assured and irenic. Studying its deictics, however, reveals significant though often subterranean unease about salvation. In registering that response, the poem also encourages further explorations of how deixis, generally discussed only in terms of secular texts, distinctively inflects devotional poetry.
