Sweetest
Love, I Do Not Goe
The
poem written by Donne is a parting poem (often written in Elizabethan and the
age just ahead). In the flux of the poem, simply the poet is consoling his
beloved who is weeping at his departure. Donne is a master of images and so he
reflects some of his imagery skills here. The first image he makes to console his
beloved is that of the Sun. According to the poet, the Sun comes daily and
daily goes in the western horizon. He follows his routine daily without taking
a leave. Even without having sense or any desire, the Sun rises daily! The
poet, however, has senses and desires to be with his beloved life-long; so,
anywhere the poet goes, he would return to his beloved!
