Only during the ts elliot time that his style has been emulated. Concerning marriage, donne married the daughter of his boss while he was in his mid-30s, and his choice of love over profession is something he has to cope with. This marriage dooms him professionally although his marriage was very happy and he had many children. I wonder by my troth, what thou and i. "twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be; Which i desired, and got, "twas but a dream of thee. Which watch not one another out of fear ; For love all love of other sights controls, Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown; Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one.
