ACADEMIC VOCAB

Metaphysical poetry – primarily devotional and often mystical in content; poets used intellect, logic, and argument to explore abstract concepts such as love and death; highly intellectual, slightly irreverent, and unconventional imagery

Metaphysical conceit – a type of metaphor or simile in which the comparison is unusually striking, original, and elaborate

METAPHYSICAL CONCEIT

Other artists seek success,But she found it a deceptive goal-A steep bridge full of pain and stress,Hard to cross, and not worth the toll.

METAPHYSICAL CONCEITWhat is being compared

How are they similar

Valediction lines 1-6





The race of virtuous men to their death is compared to the separation of lovers






Both should be trusting and graceful in their separation.








The speaker and his love are compared to the legs of a compass.







The speaker and his love are compared to the legs of a compass.

Her love is constant, like the fixed leg. He revolves around his love, like the moving leg. The fixed one yearns for the moving one and eventually draws it home.


What is being compared


Meditation lines 8-13






All humankind is like one book by a single author.







Both are created by a single creator. A person who dies is “translated into a better language,” or freed from his or her body to join the Creator.









No person is an island.








No person is an island.

Nobody stands alone; everyone is part of a continent, or all humanity. If a person dies, humanity is lessened, just as a continent is diminished if a chunk of land washes away.
