Edward Taylor

   Taylor invites his audience to feel how he feels in Meditation 8. This poem is something that someone would write just before communion. He describes it so eloquently to make the reader feel as though they are at church as well. In stanzas 20-25 he has the ability to create a picture of what he himself experiences as he takes communion.
   The one downside of this type of poetry, is that to really take in what he has to say, one must somewhat share the same views that Taylor does. This makes it unreadable to some people.
