Answers
Answer:
A conceit is basically a simile or a comparison between two things of different kinds. In a conceit the difference between the two things, compared, is so great that the reader is always fully conscious of it even while he agrees to the likeness, implied by the poet. According to Dr. Johnson, in a conceit, the most heterogeneous ideas are yoked by violence together. This kind of comparison is highly exaggerated, fantastic and far fetched, and it gives rise to an image. The metaphysical conceits startle and amuse the readers. They are a part of the poet's technique of communication, application and persuasion. Discuss the imagery and conceits traceable in "To His Coy Mistress" and "The Definition of Love"?
imagery and conceits traceable
Being a follower of Donne, Andrew Marvell could write in the metaphysical style of Donne without imitating his brutality, and he attained something of Herrick's witty delicacy without his affectation. Marvell was an extra-ordinarily versatile. Donne only succeeded when he was grave, Herrick when he was gay, but Marvell wrote well in any mood. A remarkable example of this is found in " To His Coy Mistress", which begins in a mood of playful banter and end in tragic fury. Whatever the mood is the poet is found dallying with poetic conceits in pure and natural English.
