Doing art to learn the geography of the places were talking about in history... one subject leads seamlessly to another... and pretty soon we aren't learning subject, we're just learning.

This is English class. Now... Can anyone tell me what they think motivated the poet of this sonnet to say the things he did about the afterlife? ...Anyone?"
