An author, John Donne has expressed two significant themes of love in his poems.
The following essay talks about the relationships between religious and romantic love.
Poems that are introduced in this essay show a reflection of poet's opinions and feelings
about different kinds of love. Three poems: "The Broken Heart", "A Hymn To Christ At
The Author's Last Going Into Germany", and "Hymn To God, In My Sickness" chosen
and carefully deconstructed and explained. The main points of three poems are about how
they reflect different kinds of love and how human soul reacts to this love. In
John Donne's poems love is being described in different forms such as love to God and
love to a human even though those two kinds are different, Donne describes them as one.
This essay is based on comparing poems and finding the relationship between religious
and romantic love.
First poem that will be examined called a "The Broken Heart". This poem talks about
strong feelings of love and desire that are too strong to handle for a human soul.
"He is stark mad, whoever says,
That he hath been in love an hour"(Donne, 1-2)
Author explains that real love is a very strong feeling and in his opinion no man can ever
truly overcome it. He explains that human soul dies a lot faster than true love. Love lives
forever but no human heart can hold it for more than few breaths of life. Love is very
violent and when people are not careful with it, it may destroy them.
"Who will believe me, if I swear
That I have had the plague a year?
Who would not laugh at me, if I should say
I saw a flash of powder burn a day?"(Donne, 5-8)
