John Donne’s "Death, be not proud" (Holy Sonnet 10) is one of the most famous defiant stands against mortality in English literature. Writing from a deeply Christian perspective, Donne treats Death not as a terrifying specter, but as a "slave" to circumstance.

"I have made a few friends. I have many luxury beliefs.
