METAPHYSICAL POETS


     METAPHYSICAL POETS

We learned a metaphysical poet in the second week. Metaphysical poet’s language is very simple and generally mentions physical loves not platonic. Also, similes and metaphors are used mostly in metaphysical poets. Another important point in the metaphysical poets is that poems rely on wit.

                                 John DONNE (1572-1631)
                                
John Donne is the founder of the metaphysical school of poetry. So, we consider that he is the founder of metaphysical poety. ‘The Flea’ is the most famous poem of John Donne. When I read this poem , I found it interesting because he told the physical love by using the flea.
  
                                George HERBERT

George Herbert experimented with ‘hieroglyphic’ poems, whose shapes match with their meaning. I found shapes of this poem interesting.
