Metaphysical Poets

 Hello friends,

This is  blog very interesting blog because this is flipped learning task given by our prof. Dilip Barad Sir.

I learn this unite from six videos presented by the Dr. R.K Mandaliya sir. Sir deals with feature of metaphysical poetry and metaphysical poets. I am enjoying a very much for this poems  with full of expression in  poetic style. He given  so many examples with facial expressions and attached movies with use of effective references in this poems.

Let's discuss about the features of the Metaphysical Poetry with a simple way.

The General features:-

A group of poets emerged in the second half of the 16th century whose Poetry's Identified as the metaphysical poetry. It was coined by the Samuel Johnson. He also used by the criticise the metaphysical poetry. His intention not given the title but the term is very popular by the metaphysical poetry. Johnson used this term while writing about the life of Abraham Cowley in his biographical work with ''The live of the Eminent English poets''.

The Metaphysical Poets like that; Jone Donne, George Hebert, Richard Crashaw and Andrew Marwell's.

- Their were written poetry of the different Styles. because of  this time people are board to write and read  a same style again and again. Jone Donne and his fellowers to try a write a different way of Poetry's and attracted to more readers.

Their were written poetry  a conscious attempt and fully aware of the fact and their will be writing poetry much different from.

Matthew Arnold sat that;

" All tradition is a passing of the time".

 So the metaphysical poets tried to be intellectual in the writing of their poetry because that Due to new learning and reformation of the elizabethan age.

Dr. Johnson has passed one remarkable  comment stating that the poetry of the metaphysical poets stood at trials of the ear and fingers. It means a poetry is no musical and rhythms. In order to express either love or their faith in Christianity they brought their images from a different fields just like biology, architecture, engineering, agriculture, geometry,geography and even political science. It means subjects take the real and different images. These gave a unique identity to their poetry. The frist example is of the jone Donne made use of a biological image, "The Flea" for the expression of love in his poem. And another example like; "The Pully" by George Hebert made use of an image from the field of machanical.

This are the basic features of the Metaphysical Poetry presented by the jone Donne and his followers.

Let's discuss about the one by one poems express by the R.K Mandaliya sir.

"Death Be Not Proud"by jone Donne:-

The first poem sir described by "Death Be no Proud" is a well-known holly sonnet by jone Donne. This sonnet is addressed by the poet death its. The poet challenge abouth the death u no be proud be stronger than the peoples. The poet has presented altogether at a different picture of the death in the present sonnet.

The sonnet opens with the poet's instraction to death that there is no need for death to be proud of anything.

"Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not soe".

The poet believed that the death is neither mighty nor dengerous.if the poet given chance to draw the picture of death, that time poet would draw a picture of mem who enjoyed sleep and rest time. The poet's give one example to nullified fear of death. even the best of human being have gone with death the soonest and not nervous and don't be panic. The soonest we can give the examples of the Keats, kalpana chawla, vivekananda ect..left this world very soon.

According to the poet death is a slave of four elements like that, fate, chance, king and distress men. And live though, places are poison, war and sickness other wise death be a wick. Death given the sleep but that time motherly affection causes very slowly and gently.

This is a how the end of the poem jone Donne tries to convince all that there will be no fear of the death because nobody will be afraid of the death.

"The flea" is anothers poem written by Donne. the poet uses a biological image of "The Flea" in order to express his love for his beloved. The flea is small insect and use of metaphor the express his love for beloved. The flea sucked his and his beloved blood and mixtures of flea body. Through the poet say his beloved  has not shame, not loss of honour. She dislike has happened through the flea.after his beloved killing that insect, it would be the death of three lives at a time.poet say that the mingle their blood in flea. Flea became a way of the express his love with his beloved. This is a very nice poem.

"The Sun Rising":-

"The Sun Rising" by jone Donne ia an ideal example of the the use of the metaphysical imge to deal with theme of love John Donne.

"Busy old fool, unruly sun, why dost thou this,.              Through windows, and throngh curtains, call on us?"

The Sun given to energy through brightness. Destroyed the darkness and create a brightness in whole world but now this poem poet described the spend time with his beloved and disturb about the rising sun. Lovers advices the rising sun to go and show it power on let school children, workers, employees of King and courtiers of the kings they will reguled their life, as per the movement of the sun.these unique of the time, hour nothing but rags of the time for lovers. the lover compared the brightest eye with sun. The lovers believed that eyes of beloved have enough shine to blind the sun.he suggested the rising sun to take a round of the earth and come to next morning not be disturb now. Give to order to sun not a right time u come here. 

 In the present poem attempt jone Donne is to a universal think. The Nobel emotion of the love if love is thre in life, all happiness is there and all happiness is fltied  if there is no love.

"To His Coy Mistress":-

"Had we but world enough and time, this coyness, lady, were no crime".

"To His Coy Mistress" is a poem with metaphysical conceit and it's proves Andrew Marwell's a real follower of the school of jone Donne. Marwell has made here use of an image from the field of agriculture for the express of love. The present poem deals with the theme of love.

The poem is addressed by a lover to his beloved she is very coy-shame and lover tries to convince her that since they do not have enough time. Lover knowns that they have neither enough time nor space to express love. It is a limited time and lover expressive his love ten long years but not enough time hundred years he would spend to describe each brest and three thousand years to prised.  He believed has beloved to forget shame. Lover know that the time have passing not stop that. They will mingle with dust and live in there grave. No doubt the grave is a private and peaceful place but once they go never be able to express love.  Lover telling his beloved to spend this flower of youth. it is a quality time.

"The Collar"

"The Collar" poem by George Hebert. The title of the collection of 'The Temple'. He wrote his poem to scarce Christianity and "The Collar" is and example of it. 

" I struck the board, and cried, No more;"

The Firstly  started poem with full of sadness of the speaker life. The poem sound like a monologue as the sinner speakers on behalf of his heart an also on behalf of his desire to live life freely. The word "Collar" stands for a yoke. The speaker will go to the abroad and live a free life. He express his feeling and asking the question with what will spend life with a sigh and pine. He will not live a freely and fulfilled own desire. The speaker say that he live freely and enjoying his life. Poet use of many metaphors like road, wind, wine, corm, no flowers, no garlands grass.The speaker not spend his life of hearvest but thorn. The speaker lost everything but he finally spend with pleasure. Now get ready and recover all thy sigh-blown age with a double pleasures and leave his cold dispute. Forget about his loss of time and now he enjoyed his life is a different way and starting with new life.

All poem are very enjoyable and given much more pleasure. This is my understanding to poem with express way.

Thank you.
