Are women innately fickle?
In episode 2 of Metaphysical Mondays we covered the poem The Good Morrow by Donne, where Donne waxes poetical about the eternality of romantic love.
This is a very different poem. Here Donne speaks like an anxious teenager after a passionate night with a women he believes he is in love with.
On this episode we'll talk about metaphysical conceit and more far fetched imagery.
