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.
