In donne’s poem, the speaker asks god to be violent so that he (the speaker) may be made new. this is an example of a(n)

soliloquy
aside
paradox
conceit

This is an example of paradox. Donne and the metaphysical poets, sometimes referred to as the tradition of Wit, were fond of using paradox in order to surprise and confuse their readers. Here, the paradox is in imploring God not for mercy, as is common, but for violence. It's not that violence cannot be associated with God (he also deals punishment, after all); however, it is still surprising that the speaker woud request violence for himself instead of grace, compassion or mercy.

to whom may it may concern;

i have recently ordered a product from your online shop. the shipping details read that my order would be delivered by the 8th of december, whereas it was delivered the 13th. i needed the package for a christmas exchange. 

since i paid for overnight shipping, but did not receive the package in the time allotted, i am kindly asking for a refund. the product was just perfect, but i do not believe i should have to pay for a quick shipping if it came late.

you for your time, i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely,

john smith
