Descripción
You all will be dealt with the most original love poems ever written. The poet in focus is none other than John Donne, a genius and extraordinary mind who, though...
mostra másThe poem at hand, "Valediction. Forbidding Mourning," was penned by Donne in 1611 or 1612 as a farewell to his beloved wife Anne before embarking on a journey across Continental Europe. This 36-line love poem was first published in the collection "Songs and Sonnets" in 1633, two years after Donne's passing. Within its verses, Donne reassures Anne that there is no need for tears or despair, for their love transcends the ordinary, earthly kind. Their love is a precious and expansive force, akin to a wondrous golden foil or a perfectly drawn circle crafted by a compass.
The poem's conceits, as Keats eloquently expressed in "Ode on a Grecian Urn," playfully tease and tantalize our thoughts, much like eternity itself. They are so flawlessly constructed and irresistibly alluring that our minds often struggle to fully grasp or articulate their profound significance.
