G D John Milton
1,282 wordsOne of the major themes in the religious poetry of the 17 th century is the struggle between serving G-d, and living a fulfilling and satisfying life.

Black Veil Good Father
1,328 words... had been with him behind the black veil. Its gloom, indeed, enabled him to sympathize with all dark affections. Dying sinners cried aloud for Mr. Hooper, and would not yield their breath till he appeared; though ever, as he stooped to whisper consolation, they shuddered at the veiled face so near their own. Such were the terrors of the black veil, even when Death had bared his visage! Strangers came long distances to attend service at his church, with the mere idle purpose of gazing at his f...
