• Samuel Taylor Coleridge :

Samuel Coleridge was Pre-Victorian Author. He was born in Devonshire. He was youngest of 14 children. His father was the parish vicar, died in1781 just before Coleridge’s ninth birthday. He was an English poet, literary critic, philosopher and theologigian. He became close friend to William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy, who moved to Alfoxden in 1797 to be near the Coleriges at Nether Stowey, and the two poets planned Lyrical Ballads, which appeared in 1798. Coleridge best known poems are “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and Kubla Khan”, the latter of which was reportedly written under the influence of opium.

• What is Poetry ?

Poetry is a form of literature based on words and rhythm. It often employs rhyme and meter. In poetry, words are strung together to form sounds, image, and ideas that might be too complex or abstract to describe directly. Poetry wriiten acy do not cording to srict rules of rhyme and rules and each culture had its own rules. Ancient poet follows this rules but todays,modern poets frequentl do away with with rules altogether their poems generallryyme, and do not fit any particular meter. Poetry is probably the oldest of literature, and probably predates the origin of writin itself. Poetry can be written with all the same purooses as other form of literature like a beauty, humor, storytelling, political messges etc.......

• Coleridge views on poetry :

Coleridge says that the poetry is a wider than poem, it brings the whole soul of the man. Poetry of the highest kind may exist without meter and even without the contra-distinguishing object of a poem. Poetry is a art of creating a poem activity of poets mind.

Poetry, according to Coleridge, is the product of imagination working on the objects of life and nature. It is an activity of imagination, idealizing the real and realising the ideal. As colours are to the art of painting, words are to the art of writing poetry. Again, as the combination of colors decide the pattern and quality of painting, so the arrangement of words aesthetically expressing the emotions and thoughts of the power decide the pattern an quality of poetry. But words arranged in the pattern of rhyme alone would not make poetry. The following lines, for example, have rhyming ending, but they do not make poetry:

"Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November."

The real soul of poetry lies in its power of expressing and arousing emotions. However, rhyme and rhythm add to the charm and pleasure of poetry. He says, "As a particular pleasure is found in anticipating the recurrence of sounds and quantities, all compositions that have this charm super-added, whatever be their contents, may be entitled poems. But mere meter and rhyme, without imagination and emotion for their bases would not make poetry. But it should be remembered that pleasure, and not truth is the immediate end of poetry. He does not believe that moral preaching is the ultimate end of poetry. It is true that metrical form of composition has more charm and pleasure. But they are merely apparel, and not the soul of poetry.
Coleridge points out that ,

“Poetry of highest kind may exists without meter and even without the contradistinction object of a poem”. He gives example of the writings of Plato,Taylor and bible.

Poetry for Coleridge is an activity of poet is mind importance of secondary imagination.
David Daiches points out, ‘poetry’ for Coleridge is a wider category than a “poem”; that is, poetry is
a kind of activity which can be engaged in by painters or philosopher or scientist and is not confident to those who employ metrical language , or even to those who employ language of any kind. Poetry, in this larger sense, brings, ‘The whole soul of man; into activity, with each faculty playing its proper part according to its ‘relative worth and dignity’.

• What is Poem :

Poem is one of the form of literature. A poem is collection of spoken or written words that expresses ideas or emotions in a powerfully vivid and imaginative style. A poem compose on sone particular rhythmic and metrical pattern. Writers or poets expreess their emotions through their poem. The form of poem divided in to various kind. Like a free verse, Epic, Ballad, Sonnet and Elegy.

• Colridge viwes on poem :

Poem is form of poetry. Poem is a writing which has melody, meter and rhyme, while poetry without any meter and rhyme, can directly be connected with heart of poet or reader.
Defination of poem according to Colridge,

“A Poem is that species of composition which is opposed to works of science, by proposing for its immediate object pleasure, not truth”.

Poem is a nature function as Colridge explaining his idea and view towards by rhyme and that took place as golden shield. A poem, therfore, may be defined as, that species of composition, which is opposed to works of science, by proposing for its immediated by proposing to itself such delight from the whole, as is compatible with a distinct gratification from each component part.

Thus, according to Coleridge, the poem is distinguished form prose compositions by its immediate object. The immediate object of prose is to give truth and that of poem is to please. He again distinguishes those prose compositions (romance and novels) from poem whose object is similar to poem i.e. to please. He calls this poem a legitimate poem and defines it as, “it must be one, the parts of which mutually support and explain each other; all in their proportion harmonizing with, and supporting the purpose and known influences of metrical arrangement”. Therefore, the legitimate poem is a composition in which the rhyme and the metre bear an organic relation to the total work. While reading this sort of poem “the reader should be carried forward, not merely or chiefly by the mechanical impulse of curiosity or by a res. The poem contains the same elements as a prose composition. But the difference is between the combination of those elements and objects aimed at in both the composition.

“In Imaginative power and Narrative Skills, Coleridge surpassed Wordsworth”
According to the difference of the object will be the difference of the combination.If the object of the poet may simply be to facilitate the memory to recollect (remember) certain facts, he would make use of certain artificial arrangement of words with the help of metre. As a result composition will be a poem, merely because it is distinguished from composition in prose by metre, or by rhyme.

Rhyme:


Most traditional poems use rhyme as a basic device for holding the poem together. Rhyme is the agreement in sound between words or syllables. The best way to think of rhyme is not as a series of lock stepping sound effects but as a system of echoes. Poets use rhyme to recall earlier words, to emphasize certain points, and to make their language memorable. In fact, rhymes can be extremely effective in making language take hold in a reader’s mind tless desire to arrive at the final solution; but by the pleasurable activity of mind excited by the attractions of the journey itself”. Here Coleridge asserts the importance of the impression created by the harmonious whole of the poem. To him, not one or other part but the entire effect, the journey of reading poem should be pleasurable. Thus Coleridge puts an end to the age old controversy whether the end of poem is instruction or delight. Its aim is definitely to give pleasure, and further poem has its own distinctive pleasure, pleasure arising from the parts, and this pleasure of the parts supports and increases the pleasure of the wholel.

• Poem and Prose :

Poem is something which written by the use of meter, rhyme, diction etc, and prose is something which written unrhyme. Meter and rhyme etc are use in prose.
The immediate object of poem is ‘Pleasure’, not truth but sometimes poem may be gave truth as ultimate object.
The proe work like scientific and historical composition, the immediate purpose of prose is the communication of “Truth”. Other prose works like novels, to give pleasure is immediate aim and the ultimate end may be to give truth.
Coleridge’s views of poem and prose and he says that ;
“I wish our cleaver young poets would remember my homely definition of prose and poem; that is ,
“prose- words in their best order;
poem- the best words in the best order.”

Introduction :

First we look at how the word of comedy is drive. The word
“Comedy” IS derived from the French word comedie,which in turn
is taken from the Greeco-Latin word Comedia. The word comedia
is made of two words Komos, which means that revel and aiden
means to sing.

Definition of comedy :

According to the Oxford Dictionary, comedy means is a branch of
drama, which deals with everyday life and humorous events. It
means that a play of light and amusing type of theatre. Generally we
can defined  Comedy as a play with a happy ending. The most
important function of comedy is to provide pleasure and
entertainment to the readers. The reader is forced to laugh at the
follies of various characters in the comedy. 

            


 
                                   



            

Sentimental Comedy	Anti-Sentimental Comedy
Sentimental comedy is weeping comedy . Evoking of emotion. Sentimental Comedy in middle class character. In the play almost character are good  Nearer to tragedy  Best known sentimental comedy of Richards Steels , “ The Conscious Lover” “ School for Scandal” in the use of three type of irony.

Nearer to comedy Best known Anti-Sentimental comedy of Sheridhan , “The Rivals” “She Stoops to Conquer” In the three elements that are existed in the sentimental play.

  Sentimental and Anti-sentimental comedy is written by Goldsmith and Sheridan. The sentimental comedy of 18th century was against the comedy of manners. Sentimental comedy is kind of comedy that achieved some popularity with respectable middle class audience in 18th century.We can say that Anti-sentimental comedy is reaction against sentimental comedy.Generally the Anti-sentimental comedy focuses on major character as lover and it is divided into subplot like the dramatic way and the relations with the pathos.

Anti-Sentimental  comedy :

Above we see that Anti-sentimental comedy is a reaction against sentimental comedy. The comedy of humour which goldsmith and Sheridan cultivate in eighteenth century was the reaction against the sentimental comedy of Clibber, Stheel, Kelly. Goldsmith opposed sentimental comedy because it place of laughter and humour. So, this way is new and success output in Anti-sentimental comedy, it takes old forms of    manner, which is also called, generally for Anti-sentimental comedy.

Anti- Sentimental Comedy is going to old forms, it is a low force, situational humour. It is high polished in restoration comedy. It is a kind of comedy representing complex and sophisticated code of behaviour current in fashionable circles of society, where appearance counts for more character. Its plot usually revolves around intrigues of lust and greed, the self-interested cynicism of the characters being masked by decorous preteens. 

Anti-Sentimental Comedy is comedy of manners less the vulgarity and profanity. We know that it deals with the relation and intrigues and many more things.

Characteristics of Anti-Sentimental Comedy :

Characteristics of Anti-Sentimental Comedy

Amusing intrigues and situations Satirical comedy  Marriage for love and money Wit of language and verbal dialogue  Face and disguise  Emotions have boundaries

Here we can see some characteristics of Anti-sentimental comedy. Anti-sentimental comedy includes wit, laughter,farce, irony, disguise. Let we see the characteristic in brief.

Wit is a form intelligent humour, the ability  to say or write things that are clever and usually funny. Author choose words very clearly which produce fun. Laughter is the soul of comedy and the main function of comedy is to give laughter which Anti-sentimental comedy fulfills but not sentimental comedy. The third characteristic of Anti-sentimental comedy is farce. The main aim of farce comedy is that entertaining the audience through situations that are highly exaggerated. While the irony is the usage of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning which helps to create laughter. 

The last characteristic is disguise which used in Anti-sentimental comedy as an important tool. It is something like to modify the manner or appearance of a person through wig, glasses, makeup,costume or other ways. 

Now let us we see the “She stoops to conquer by Oliver Goldsmith .

She Stoops to Conquer  by Oliver Goldsmith :  

Oliver Goldsmith was undoubtedly a Irish novelist , Author and famous playwright. He took up several menial jobs before hitting it right being a hack writer for a publisher in london. He is reckoned till date are “ The vicar of wakefield”, “The Deserted village”, Good natured Man”, and “She stoops to conquer”. This play was first performed in London in 1773. It has been adapted into a film several times and also has title “ Mistakes of a night”. First performed in London in 1773.

Character of this play : 

First we see tha main and minor characters of this play .

Charles Marlow : Charles marlow is son of Sir Charles marlow and
protagonist of the play. He was a lover of kate hardcastle.

Mr Hardcastle     : Mr Hardcastle is the main character of the play
,who is the father of miss kate castle.     He loves all old things, like
old manner,old friends, old rules and old clothes etc. 

Mrs Hardcastle   : Mrs. Hardcastle is wife of mr hardcastle. We can
say that mrs. Hardcastle is a very greedy woman and highly
fashionable. 

Miss Kate castle   : miss kate castle is a daughter of Mr. Hardcastle.
She is close to her father. Her father loves to old things so she
wearing a simple old fashioned clothes. She is beloved of marlow.

Tom Lumkin        : Tom is son of mrs. Hardcastle from her first
husband. He misbehave with his second father mr. Hardcastle. 

Hasting :      Hasting is friend of marlow and lover of constance.

Constance  : Constance is a niece of Mr. Hadcastle and beloved of
hasting. 

Sir Charles Marlow : He is a friend of mr. Hardcastle and father of
marlow. 

Summery  : 

She Stoops to conquer is a Anti-sentimental comedy satire against
sentimental comedy. Goldsmith wanted to criticise sentimental
comedy of Richard Steel in his contemporary era. So , he wrote
“She Stoops to conquer” his second play as an example of pure
comedy, anti-sentimental comedy. “She stoops to conquer” is the
best example of anti-sentimental comedy not only because it has
characteristic and element of Anti-sentimentalism comedy but also it
has spirit of anti-sentimentalism which we can easily find in
Goldsmith’s play. 

She stoops to conquer play starts with Sir charles marlow arranged
the meeting between kate, and his son Charles marlow.
Mr. Hardcastle wants to his daughter’s marriage with his friend’s
son charles marlow. Now marlow and his freind hasting come to
meet kate but at night they goes to the elehouse named three jolly
pigeons at there they meet tony lumpkin who is step-son of
mr. Hardcastle. Marlow asked him about house of Mr. Hardcastle
but Tony is very mischievous he told morlow that they are very far
from their destination and they should stay at near inn and the inn
which he shows is the house of Mr. Hardcastle. 

Marlow and hasting goes to Mr. Hardcastle’s house but they don’t
aware about the house of Mr. Hardcastle they misunderstand it as an
inn and marlow treat lower class people very badly. Marlow very
badly behave with Mr. Hardcastle. Kate comes to know about the
trick of tony and she wants to know the real character of marlow so
she disguise herself as bar-maid. They both fall in love with each
other. There is also a sub-plot of love between hasting and
constance they both make plan to elope, but constance refuse it
because she wants her jewels which her aunt keep it. Mrs. Hardcastle
wants that she marry her son Tony because she wants to keep that
jewels in family, but Tony didn't want to marry with constance so
he helps constance to take jewels from his mother and at the end sir
charles marlow comes and solves all mistakes. 

We can say that ‘She stoops to conquer’ is a best example of
anti-sentimental comedy. We find all the characteristics of
anti-sentimental comedy in this play.  

1. Amusing intrigue and situation

We can see the first characteristic of anti-sentimental comedy
intrigue and situation in the play of She stoops to conquer.
Tony lumpkins creates intrigues in this play. His tricks against
marlow and hastings. This tracks are the main source of wit and
humor. We can see that Tony's intrigues give motion to drama.
He introduced Mr. Hardcastle’s house as an inn and Mr. Hardcastle
as an innkeeper. This tricks contributes a lot to the comic impression
of the play. There is one more trick played by tony and miss.
Constance is an orphan and live with her aunt. Mrs. Hardcastle wants
that tony marry constance because she has a jewel box.
But constance loves hastings. Tony comes to know that constance
and hastings love each other. Then Tony still jewels box from his
mother and help constance and hastings to runaway.

2. Satirical Comedy and Irony :

The second characteristic of Anti-sentimental comedy is a Satire and
Irony, we can also see in this play. We found satire on class conflict
in this play .Marlow is satirized as an english preoccupation and
emphasis on class distinction. He is not comfortable with polite
class but he is comfortable with barmaids. He wants to be able to
when she meets her for marriage but he can easily able to talk when
she comes as servant . Irony can also find in the play. When she
talks of mrs. Hardcastle with hastings about high society in london.

3. Marriage for Love and Marriage for Money :

Marriage for love and marriage for money is one another
characteristic of the anti-sentimental comedy. We can see this
characteristic in this play. We can say that Mrs. Hardcastle is a very
greedy woman. She loves money and jewels. Mrs. Hardcastle wants
to his son’s marry constance because she has some jewels of miss
constance. But constance love with hastings and tom also help them.
Mrs. Hardcastle wants constance marry her son because of that
jewel box. So, here we can say that money is the reason of marriage.
Other side constance marry hastings because they love each other.
The marriage of kate and marlow because of love. So, here we find
both love for marriage and love for money.

4. Wit of Language and verbal dialogue :

In act 3 we find that tony and hastings are talking about the Jewels.
Tony steal jewell and passes on them. And then speak,

“Ask me a question and I’ll tell you no fibs”

The meaning of the line is if one asks a strange or nonsensical
question the listener will probably respond with a similar strange
or nonsensical answer.  We can see here wit of language and verbal
dialogue.

To sum up : 

Goldsmith writes very few Anti-sentimental comedy but whatever
he contribute its great and still has the same value and because of
their efforts the comedy which is more like tragedy names
sentimental comedy lost its name and weeping comedy is gone and
true comedy which provides laughter to audience is become famous.

What is Metaphysical poetry? Discuss John Donne as Metaphysical poet. And illustrate his poems.

• What is Metaphysical Poetry?

First of all the term “Metaphysical Poetry” refers to a specific period of time and a specific set of poets. What is Metaphysical poetry? Actually the answer lies in the composition of these pieces. The common thread is that they contain metaphors that are highly conceptual in nature. These metaphores are often tenuous, at best, in their comparisons of one thing to another, but they can leave the reaer feeling enlightened. This type of mataphore is known as a Metaphysical conceit. The way to tell a metaphysical conceit from a regular metaphore is that they often exhibit an analytical tone, contain double meanings, show logical reasoning, and have paradoxes, symbolism, and wit. While one or two of thes elements might be missing from any given piece, there should be the majority of them present.

The term metaphysical or metaphysics in poetry is the fruit of renaissance tree, becoming over ripe and approaching pure science."META"means"beyond"and"Physics"means"Physical nature".Metaphysical poetry means poetry that goes beyond the physical world of the senses and explores the spiritual word. Metaphysical poetry began early in the Jacobean Age in the last stage of the age of shakespeare.

In the first half of the 17th century,a group of poets emerged who'es poetry is known as "THE METAPHYSICAL POETRY". Since John Donne was the pioneer of this group ,it is also known as THE SCHOOL OF JOHN DONNE .The other poet who followed footstep of John Donne were George Herbert , Andrew Marvell and Abraham Cowley and Robert Herrick .These poet try to followed the style of writing poetry which was initially cultivated by John Donne.

• Characteristic of Metaphysical poetry :

Caracteristic of Metaphysical poetry :

Conscious Attempt

Far Fatched Image

Dramatic Manner and direct tone of Speech

Concentration

Wit

Use of Satire and Irony

Platonic Love

Originality

Carelessness in diction

Metaphysical Poetry is a blend of passion and thought.

The metaphysical poetry has been extensively commented upon by Dr. Samuel Johnson . In his biographical work"THE LIVES"while writing about the life of couly .Dr. Johnson try to interpret The Metaphysical poetry and it's features.Jonson find's following feature in the metaphysical poetry of Donne and his school.

• Conscious Attempt:

All the metaphysical poets made a conscious attempt to differ in the style of writing poetry from the former poets .They were not whiling to continuous writing poetry in a same manner just like Shakespeare,Spencer,Philip Sydney,Christopher Marlowe and others.They wanted to make their poetry look different from the former poet.It was the conscious attempts to part with the exciting style writing poetry and to cultivate a new style.

critics find two reasons for then desire to differ from the former poet. The first reason is that they were fully aware of the fact that they would have been rejected had they continuous writing poetry in the same way. The invention of printing press help a lot in expanding education and literacy so people were also retrait and it was then demand to have new kind of poetry.This demand of the people for a new type of poetry was served by metaphysical poetry.

All the metaphysical were literate and degree holder they wanted to exhibit then learning and scholarships and so they tried to differ from the former poets.

• Far Fetched Image :

Far fetched images and conciets is one more feature of the metaphysical poetry. They never tried to use and express their images from that field with which the theme of the poetry was concerned.They tried to bring there images from those field which have nothing to do with the theme of there poems so they are called far fetched images.

In tried to bring there images from the branches and areas just like agriculture mechanical engineering , architecture ,biology Geometry and many other field which have nothing common with the theme of there poems.Such a practice drew attention of the readers and it made them establish poets Herbert borrowed image from architecture and mechanical engineering . The best example are "The church porch" and "The Pulley" marvell made use of Geometrical and agricultural images.The best example is "To His Coy Mistress" Donne made use almost all type of images in his poetry.This kind of practice was and experiment for them in which they successfully.

• Dramatic manner and direct tone of speech is one of the main characteristics of metaphysical poetry,In the starting line of the poem "The Canonization"-there are is given a dramatic starting -

"For God' sake hold your tongue , and let me love".

• Concentration is an important quality of metaphysical poetry in general and Donne's poetry is particular.In his all poems, the reader is held to one idea or line of argument. Donne's poems are brief and closely woven. In "The Extasie", the principle argument is that the function of man as a man is being worthily performed through different acts of love. He continues with the theme without digression. For example ,

"As 'twixt two equal armies, Fate

Suspends uncertain victorie,

Our souls,(which to advance their state,

Were gone out,)hung 'twixt her and me".

• Wit is another characteristic of metaphysical poetry. So, here we find various allusion and images relating to practicality all areas of nature and art and learning to medicine, cosmology,contemporary discoveries, ancient myth, history, law and art .For instance, in "The Ecstacy", Donne uses the belief of the blood containing certain spirits which acts as intermediary between soul and body -

"As our blood labours to get

Spirits, as like souls, as it can,

Because such fingers need to knit

That subtle knot,which makes us man:"

In the same poem, the Ptolemaic system of astrology is also used when he says -

"...We are

The intelligence, they the sphere."

• Usage of satire and irony is another characteristic of metaphysical poetry . Donne also uses this in his poems.For example, in "Canonization", there is subtle irony as he speaks of the favoured pursuits of people - the lust for wealth and favours.

"Take you a course, get you a place,

Observe his honour, or his Grace".

• Platonic Love :

Platonic love is one of the characteristic of metaphysical poetry. We can say that Plantonic love means, spiritual love, which is free from elements of physical love.

• Originality :

All the metaphysical poets has original and unique in their thoughts and idea. They stood against their contemporary poets. They followed their own way of wrinting poetry instead follows path of their contemporary poets.

• Metaphysical Poets :

Metaphysical Poets

John Donne Henry Vaughan Andrew Marvell John Cleveland Abrahim Cowley George Herbert Richards Crashaw Edward Benlowes

• John Donne As Metaphysical Poets :

John Donne was the most original and the Father of the Metaphysical School of poetry . His poetry is revolutionary. His style is original.His images are personal. He replaces passion, sentiment and sensuality with wit, elegance and realistic tone. He also used hyperboles.

Donne's poems can be divided into three groups-

# Love Poems#

#Divine Sonnet#

#Satires#

In satires, Donne is highly witty and in love poems highly realistic. The first point which strikes a reader reading his love poetry is surprising directness of the speaking voice and diction;

"For God's sake hold your tongue and me love"

His love poetry is highly dramatic and it seems he is talking to his beloved and is never sentimental. His poet "The Sun Rising "is a highly colloquial in tone and dramatic in presentation. Similarly in "Sweetest Love I Do Not Go For Wearing Of Thee" has originality which comes out in the careful subtlety of the poem's argument.He was a conscious artist and avoids conventions,fluency of movement and courtliness of diction.

“ In ornament way we can say that he is the man who established his poetic style and that’s for he called as “Metaphysical poet”.

• John Donne’s Poems :

John Donne was well known for his Metaphysical poetry;

Metaphysical poetry by John Donne

The Sun rising The Flea Death, be not proud Sweetest Love The Ecstasy The Dream

Let us discuss John Donne’s Metaphysical poetry .

• “The Sun Rising”

The Sun rising is a well known poem of John Donne it is addressed to the Sun by a lover who is in the company of his beloved. The lover expresses his concern for his beloved by addressing this poem to the Rising Sun. The present poem is also a good example of metaphysical poetry. The poem open with the, lovers rebuke to the rising sun. The rising sun peeps into the badroom of this lover through windows and curtains the lover doesn’t like it . He want to convince the sun that the seasons and climate of lovers can not be governed by the sun. Lovers care for neither season not climate. The lover in this poem belives that all units of time just

likemoments,minute,hours,day,month and years are nothing but the rags of time. A true lover never cares for such rags of time. The lover advisese the rising sun to go away and show his command on let school boys,workers,officers of the court and farm laboures his command with work on this people but not on lovers. The word of lovers is completly different and it has nothing to do with the rising of the sun.

In the next stanza of the poem the lovers compars shine of the eys office beloved and the shine of the sun the lover maintions that the sun is not half so happy as he is in the compny of his belovd. He suggests the rising sun to take a trip of the whole world and to make a survey whether spices of india are more beautiful or his beloved. The lover is confident that the shine of his beloved’s eyes is powerful enough to blind the sun. In brife the lover considers his beloved superior to the rising sun.

The thired and the concluding stanza of the poem is a comparision between the political empire of king and the empire of love. He is of the opinion that he himself is the king and his beloved is his empire. John Donne has made remarkable use of Far Fatched images in his presents poem “The rising sun”.

• Sweetest Love , I Do Not Go #

"Sweetest Love I Do Not Go "analysis shows that it is from the collection of "Love Poem"of John Donne .In this poem, he is addressing to his wife Anne Moore. The theme of the poem is parting; therefor, the poet consoles his wife. Poet was departing for Europe in 1611. This poem is an expression of those feeling, which he has experienced when he wan away from his wife. Donne was gravely in love with her. It seems that she is unable to differentiate between parting and death. Death is also a kind of parting from near and dear ones;therefor,the situation of departing is also not different from death. However, the poet consoles his wife while saying that she should not become tearful and should face this situation.

• Death , be not proud (Holy sonnet) :

Death be not proud is a very popular holy sonnet of John Donne. The present sonnet is addressed by the poet to death itself. The attempt of the poet is to nullify fear of death by writing fourteen lines on death.

Generally speaking most of the people considerd death mighty and dengerous, frighting and very painful experience of life but the poet reacts all together in a diffrent way tp death. In the very opening the poet clearifys that death is neither,mighty nor dreadful. Death itself may think that it ends life of the people but in reality those people do not die death can never end eternal life of people .The poet considers death nothing more than a transitory pause in the eternal life. He belives that death is nothing more than rest and sleeps. If the poet has to broak picture of the death, he would to draw the picture of a person enjoying sounds sleep and rest that means death offers sleep and rest to mankind so it great pleasure should be derived from death .

• To be concluding :

we can say that in love there is , “ silence better than words” the pure love that no one can destroy and the immortally going way to their love at first sight it’s always be there like forever. At present, including all the details, fact and examples the idea is clear of metaphysical poetry, “Donne is almost undisputed, the quintessential metaphysical poet. If none other is read, Donne is generally recommended for a reader to get a good idea of what metaphysical poetry is all about”.
