Confined Love by John Donne Confine Love is a poem inspired by Ovid’s work. It is a logical game in which the speaker tries to convince a woman‚ probably his mistress‚ that promiscuity is justifiable. This poem looks like a syllogism‚ beginning with men to go towards animals and then free love‚ the very aim of the poem. In the first stanza‚ the speaker addresses a married woman and tries to convert her to promiscuity. The “old or new love” are respectively the wife and the mistress‚ love here representing

Love at First Sight Writing Sample Once upon a time there was a girl. One day she saw a boy she’d never met across a crowded room. Their eyes locked: she froze in her tracks‚ her face stuck in awe. Her blood ran cold; her fingers began to tingle as a shiver ran through her entire body. 8.2 seconds later the boy flashed her a beaming smile. His expression injected a flood of warmth into her fragile heart and her mouth involuntarily turned up to return the gesture. She didn’t know how

‘On the sea’ by John Keats It keeps eternal whisperings around Desolate shores‚ and with its mighty swell Gluts twice ten thousand caverns‚ till the spell Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound. Often ’tis in such gentle temper found‚ That scarcely will the very smallest shell Be moved for days from where it sometime fell‚ When last the winds of heaven were unbound. O ye! who have your eyeballs vexed and tired‚ Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea; O ye! whose ears are dinn’d

John Donne’s Poetic Philosophy of Love For the enormously complex and vexed John Donne (1572-1631)‚ the one in whom all “contraries meet‚” (Holy Sonnet 18)‚ life was love—the love of women in his early life‚ then the love of his wife (Ann More)‚ and finally the love of God.

Whenever a story is retold‚ there are always connections from both stories even if they seem completely different at first. The biography of Margaret Atwood along with a few poems of hers‚ helped me discover her flow of writing. The poem that
