Brilliant! Thank you so much. I was directed towards this poem by a colleague who has been discussing a text with me which I am dealing with in my dissertation. It is a short story from an East German novel about a women who undergoes a physical body transformation in response to her desire to be a man in the gendered reality of East German society. After avoiding her male partner, they eventually reunite and see that, in fact, the physical body has no bearing on their love. Its an interesting meditation on the relationship between love and sexuality and how transformations in how we understand love can help effect changes in society regarding gender and gendered expectation. My colleague mentioned both Plato's writings on Eros and this poem, and your analysis has really opened it up to me. It seems to me, now, that the text i am writing on tries to separate spiritual / lunar / top of the compass love out from erotic / bodily / material love, so as to find a way for people to be truly equal in society (loving eachother as humans in a spiritual way) while still making room for difference in the realm of bodily love and pleasure. Maybe decoupling the body from love allows us to decouple the body from all other realms of society. Thank you again!
The way you have explained the poem by pointing out the important literary devices in such a simple and easily understandable language is what I can't help admiring. I have been teaching English to undergraduate and graduate classes for last five years in Pakistan. I would strongly recommend to all my students to visit your channel because it has much for them to benefit from. Stay blessed!!!!
Woe John Donne is also my favorite metaphysical poet. Even my professors and cllassmates call by 5he name John Donne . 'The Good-Morrow'. I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I. Holy Sonnet: 'Death, be not prou. The Sun Rising'. Holy Sonnet: 'Batter my heart, three-person'd God'. Song: Go and catch a falling star. I am also a poet in pashtoo (my native language ) language. One of my love couplet is similar to his" The Flea". when we were discussing this particular poem "The Flea " I said to my professor Sir " I composed a love couplet which is very similar to this one, recited afterwards ,then they start calling me John Donne 😂
I would highly appreciate ,I you could tell me a common formal word for addressing female teacher in USA.In Pakistan , we use 'Mam" in our department for a female teacher but I searched it on internet there you Americand use it when addressing aged woman. Confused

Woe John Donne is also my favorite metaphysical poet. Even my professors and cllassmates call by 5he name John Donne .
'The Good-Morrow'.
I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I. Holy Sonnet: 'Death, be not prou.
The Sun Rising'. Holy Sonnet: 'Batter my heart, three-person'd God'.
Song: Go and catch a falling star.

'The Flea 'has very similar to the one I composed .
I love “The Flea” but it’s pretty messed up 😂
