The Ecstacy

  The poem Ecstasy is written by Jonh donne. It is one of most popular poem by John donne. In the poem John donne expresses his unique and unconventional idea about love. The theme of poem is pure, spiritual or real love can exit  only in the bond  of souls established by bodies.

   In the poem The Ecstasy, he used far fetched images of the  the bank of river, bed is always in the company of pillow and hands were firmly cemented describe love.

    We  find these far fetched image in the first stanza of the poem.

   "Where, like a pillow on a bed 
A pregnant bank swell'd up to rest 
The violet's reclining head, 
Sat we two, one another's best.  Our hands were firmly cemented"

   The lovers realize a what exactly exchanged, between both of them. It's not love of body but it's a  love between  two souls. The soul of both speak same and listen same.
The poem Ecstasy is all about the pure and spiritual love. Generally now a days this kind of love we can see rarely but the pleasure of true love is love of souls. Love between two bodies and between two souls these both are different. Love of bodies is out of attraction while love between two souls is more than that.

  In this kind of love some times there is no need of words, yet they both can understand each other. So it is a wonderful poem which describes true love or valuable love.

    Thank you.
