“Valediction: Forbidding Mourning” by John Donne - Analysis

I'm starting a new series today - a deep dive into some of my all-time favorite poems. This series is meant to help you not only appreciate these beautiful pieces of art, but also to demonstrate how to analyze poetry. [NOTE: This video is not intended to replace your own analysis, if, for instance, you have to write a paper. Remember never to plagiarize and always to use intellectual honesty.]

Today's poem is by the incomparable John Donne! "Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" is a beautiful, unorthodox love poem. John Donne was a metaphysical poet during the English Renaissance, so he uses metaphysical conceits with unlikely imagery to demonstrate how wonderful his relationship is with his lover.

I hope you enjoy! Let me know in the comments what poems you would like to see in this series.
