邓恩奇思妙喻初探

摘要

John Donne(1572-1631), the forefather of English Metaphysical poetry, is one of the most influential poets of the Renaissance. This essay ventures into Donne's love poems“A Valediction:Forbidding Mourning”and“The Flea”and comes out convinced that the poems abounds in conceits, taking the“compass”and“flea”as examples. The studies of his conceit help to promote understanding of John Donne from a fresh perspective and provide the readers with a larger space for the recreation.
