There are several similarities and differences in William Shakespeare's "My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun," and John Donne's "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning." Theses two poems discuss and dissect relationships on two basic levels: one level deals with love, and the other level makes strong references to lust. Both possess merit in respect for the time they were written and the style of world that we live in today. In John Donne's "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," it is obvious that the man in this poem is madly in love with his women and feels a strong sexual bond with her when he writes "So let us melt, and make no noise" (Kirszner & Mandel 816). This line in the poem suggests that the man does not wish to share his women with anyone. He wants the two of them to connect or form one body in peace. Let nothing be in their way of their love making. These two could be married. In William Shakespeare's "My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun," it could be argued that the speaker in the poem loves his "mistress" but is not in love with who she is as opposed to Donne's "Valediction." Shakespeare writes "Coral is far more red than her lips' red" (Kirszner & Mandel 684). This suggests t
This humorous, almost malicious stanza captures just about all the speaker feels for his lover. The reason why Shakespeare considers this women to be someone whom the speaker finds unworthy of his eternal self and mearly an object of desire is stated when he writes "I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound" (Kirszner & Mandell 685). Donne writes "If they be two, they are two so as stiff twin compasses are two" (Kirszner & Mandell 817). No matter how long of a distance or "expansion" there is between them, they stay connected through their own truth, endurance, and love for each other. The very first line in the poem is spent comparing his mistress to darkness. Work Cited Kirszner, Laurie G. Both poems involve relationships between the opposite sex, but Shakespeare finds loss of love in lust as Donne seeks the greatest love of all: lasting relationship. like gold to airy thinness beat" (Kirszner & Mandell 817). Shakespeare has an luminescent, underwater truck stop on his hands. The sun rays bounce off of and through the reefs as to compare this action as to an underwater party. Still, there is mystery around every corner because he said that even they do not fully understand it. Coral is very abrasive, yet pretty, but still has a negative connotation to the reader. Throughout the poem, Shakespeare basically tells the reader how lousy of a person the speaker's lover is.
