Who wrote “Death be not proud”?

  1. Robert Frost

  2. John Donne

  3. William Wordsworth

  4. Emily Dickinson

The correct answer is: John Donne

"Death be not proud" is a quote taken from John Donne's Holy Sonnet X, a collection of poems written in the 16th century. This quote is often misattributed to other writers such as Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, and Emily Dickinson. Frost and Wordsworth were both poets known for their romantic and naturalistic themes, but neither of them wrote this specific poem or used this quote in their works. While Emily Dickinson was also a renowned poet in the 19th century, this quote does not appear in her writings either. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect. The correct answer is B, John Donne.
