Summary of The Good Morrow By John Donne
The story of poem begins with the conversation of poet with his wife, poet says I wonder what we both were doing before falling in love. Were we drinking our mother’s breast milk till that time. Here poet is trying to say, were we that much younger that we were not able to understand the love between us.
Our actions were like a child before falling in love because we used to laugh on small things like children do. Or were we sleeping in the Seven Sleepers den that we meet after so many years. It is true that we must be living like this only. I used to desire and see a dream of girl like you before you come into my life.
And now good morning to our souls who are waking up from that sleep we were in before falling in love. Our souls does not watch each other with fear as it only watch with love and care. Our love is so strong that it does not let us get attracted to other things.
We does not feel any jealousy and fear because we both are just devoted to each others love. Our love is making a small room for us which is bigger like this world. Our love is universal so wherever we go we make a room for ourselves which is bigger like this world.
The writer says explorers are going to new places to find new place so let them go, let them make maps which will be map of new places but what we have to do is to make a new world in ourselves. We both are new place and a world and this world is ours because we made it.
The poet says to his beloved that my face reflect into your eyes and your face reflect into my eyes. Our heart truthfulness reflect on both of our faces. Where can we find two better hemisphere than this where there would be no cold of north and darkness of west.
When something dies it dies because of a imbalance in their body or dies because of not mixing among their surroundings. If our true love be one or you and me love the same then our love can’t be defeated by anyone in this world. Then our love would be strong and forever exist us in the world.
