The sun
rising
John Donne
The
sun rising evidence of metaphysical
poetry written by John Donne as the pioneer of this school .The poem deals with
the theme of the love of a lover of his beloved .It is an addressed as a lover
to the rising sun in which the lover portrayed his beloved superior to the
rising sun .The lover addressed to the sun as ‘ Busy ’ old fool and unruly
,simply because it peeps though windows because it peeps though windows and
curtain into the bedroom of lover where he is in the company of his beloved
.The lover wants to make it clear that the season and time lovers can never be
governed by the sun to go and apply its force to made school children
,workers and employees of the court lover do not accept the concept of the time
because month , years ,days and hours are just the rags of time .The lover
wants to convey a message to the sun that lovers have nothing to do with either
rising or setting of sun.
The lover is
not ready even to belive that the rays of the sun are powerful .It is possible
for him to create and ellipse on the sun simply by closing his eyes but he does
not to do that because even for a
movement he cannot bear loosing the sight of his beloved. It is lover’s conviction
that there is greater shine in the eyes of his beloved and of the sun looks at
her eyes; the eyes of the sun would be dazzled .The lover mention that after
taking a round of the earth, the sun would realize real India of spices is in
his bedrooms in the form of his beloved.
The lover compares his beloved
with all the kingdom states, princes and princesses .One round of the earth
would be enough for the sun to realize that the center of the earth is his
beloved would be as good the whole world .The lover is of the opinion the the
sense of owner it just mimic compared to his love for his beloved even wealth
is nothing but a chemical compared to love so the lover and his beloved is not ready to accept worldly rules and
regulation as by the sun.
The present poem
is an attempt of Donne to established the play of the love higher that the
place of the sun .The metaphysical images employed by the poet are ‘Sun’, ‘State’,’
Prince’, ‘Princesses’ India spices and so on it is an experiment of Donne that
he uses images from the field of politics and nature for the expression of the
love.
