How does the poet Justify his temporary separation from his love - Sweetest Love I do not Goe
Answers
Answer:
Sweetest Love I Do Not Goe' is a love poem written by "John Donne". ... The poet consoles his beloved over a temporary separation. He says that he is going from here but not because he is tired of her or helps to find a better match for him. He is parting because he wishes to die in jest.
The poet, John Donne uses metaphysical conceits/arguments or imagery to justify the temporary separation from his love.
He uses two conceits- one of death, and the other one of the rising and setting sun.
The poet first tells her that he is not going out of choice, but because he has to. He does not enjoy parting from her, but then realises that death will separate them eventually. So, he tells his wife to think of this temporary separation as a practice session. To him, it is preparation for the final separation at death. Death is permanent, but this separation is only temporary.
The second conceit is based on the progression of the sun. The poet feels that the sun sets each evening, yet is back again each morning. It has a great distance to travel, but unfailingly comes back. The poet has a comparatively shorter distance to cover, to get back to his wife. Also, his love for his wife motivates him to return even faster.
The poet tries to console his love by giving these examples.
