%X This article compares John Donne¡¯s sermonic treatment of the beatific vision to the related but divergent treatment of the theme in his poem ¡°Good Friday: Made as I was Riding Westward that Day.¡± Never one simply to duplicate in his poetic imaginings the pure, if occasional, theology of the sermons, Donne suggestively strays from the sermonic line on seeing God¡¯s face in his most extended and provocative meditative poem on the theme, ¡°Good Friday.
