Confined Love Comments

Absolutely brilliant

Nice poem likes

My favourite poet. I love his all poems.

A great thought process worth considering.... i wonder how many of his time wandered up this track.... or stayed due to responsibility or loyalty....karen

I see advocacy for polygamy and open relationships. Though I tend to rally for confined love, this is a beautiful piece.

The poem is a very fantastic one.

Donne is a genius. I saw what he did in the flea' i know him to be thus a great grey!

Donne is shrewdly criticising the origin and hypocrisy of a patriarchal society.

doesn't the greediness also refer polygamy, in the line a thousand it possess

Interesting that he makes the point of confined love barely being love at all, but rather, the ownership of another. I think that is the point of his last line...the greed is our apparent need to own love.

Love cannot thrive on hurdles! If there are many how can there be love? But natural things cannot be restrained by law ever!

Written in that time frame, this poem was really political. Expressing one's self. KINGS & QUEENS ruled the roost. Art was flourishing. But, human freedom was oppressed by them CASTLES. The poem asking the reader the question of liberty. Many crossed the ocean to the New Land for freedoms from them KINGS & QUEENS.

When I read the first lines of this poem they sounded strangely familiar to me, then when a strangely familiar melody came to my mind as well, I found out that I know this poem as it was turned into a beautiful and very powerful song by the Inchtabokatables.
