Off-topic, but I recall from 22 years ago my 11th grade English teacher talking about a 16-17th century English poet/author who basically sword-fought his way out of Paris to escape back to England. I always thought it was John Donne, but I've never been able to find any kind of reference to anything of the sort. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
- thedailymail 4y agoPhilip Sidney, Christopher Marlowe, and John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester all had military adventures on the continent. Do you remember what the poet was escaping from (bad debt, political intrigue, illicit affair, etc)?
