Excerpt from John Donne: Selected Poems; Henry King; Elegies, Etc, Izaak Walton Verse-Remains The accompanying selection from the poetry of Donne is not, of course, to be regarded as in any sense representative of his surprising power as a maker of subtle and strangely-diversified song. What may justly be claimed for it, however, is that - with reference, especially, to the greater part of it - it does convey some idea of the quality of Donne's remarkable achievement as a lyrist, and as a singer of 'the softnesses, The shadow, light, the air, and life, of love.' "Here Love's divines - since all divinity Is love or wonder - may find all they seek, Whether abstract spiritual love they like, Their souls exhaled with what they do not see; Or, loth so to amuse Faith's infirmity, they choose Something which they may see and use; For, though mind be the heaven, where love doth sit, Beauty a convenient type may be to figure it." (Valediction to His Book.) In regard to the latter section it may be said that the few pieces therein comprised afford us at least a glimpse of the poet as he has revealed himself on his more 'seraphical' side - alter et idem ego. For, indeed, even in Donne's most pronouncedly erotic verse the spiritual idea is never wholly lost. Though he is 'one of the most full-blooded,' he is, nevertheless, as Professor Saintsbury has truly remarked, ' one of the least earthly of English poets.' The Donne of the Lyrical Poems may, possibly, have been the self-revealer of Mr Gosse's ingenious analysis, - 'avid for pleasure and for knowledge and experience... a law unto himself.'
