Metaphysical Poetry

Vitals Mostly in the 17th century Mostly in England Breaks from Renaissance ideas about Romantic Poetry (Petrarch and Shakespeare)

Stats Renaissance: Love and put the person on a pedestal (“Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? /Thou art more lovely and more temperate:” Shakespeare Sonnet 18) Metaphysical: Introspective meditation on love, death, God, and human frailty. Usually difficult and obscure…favorite of College Board

What to Look for

Wit, irony, or paradox “Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears, “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning” Astronomy and math to illustrate his deep abiding love for his wife. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44131/a- valediction-forbidding-mourning “Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears, Men reckon what it did, and meant; But trepidation of the spheres, Though greater far, is innocent. ”

Elaborate Stylistic Maneuvers Ornamental conceits and dazzling rhymes Herbert uses relative line length, stanza shape, rhyme, and repetition in “Easter Wings” to underscore the importance of human humility. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44361/easter-wings Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store, Though foolishly he lost the same, Decaying more and more, Till he became Most poore: With thee O let me rise As larks, harmoniously, And sing this day thy victories: Then shall the fall further the flight in me.

Huge Shifts in Scale An example: ants to a planet Marvell’s speaker in “The Mower to the Glow-Worms” conflates glow-worms and comets. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44685/the-mower-to-the-glow- worms “Ye country comets, that portend No war nor prince’s funeral, Shining unto no higher end Than to presage the grass’s fall; ”

Deep Philosophical Issues The passage of time The difficulty of ever being sure of anything The uneasy relationship of human beings to one another and God The fearful, obsessive, qualities of death Can feel a bit like a cliché, but is seen as beautiful through techniques

Thursday George Herbert: “Love” https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44365/love-i Andrew Marvell: “To His Coy Mistress” https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44688/to-his-coy-mistress
