What is metaphysical poetry ? 
A group of poets emerged in the beginning of 
the seventeenth century, whose poetry come 
to be known as the metaphysical poetry. 
Metaphysical :- literally ‘meta’ means beyond 
and ‘physic’ means physical nature. 
A word metaphysical first time used by dr. 
Johnson in “ The lives of poet ”
Metaphysical school 
John Donne :- ( 1572- 1631) 
George Herbert :- (1593-1633) 
Andrew Marvell :- (1621-1678) 
Abraham Cowley :- (1618-1667) 
John Hall:- (1627-1656 ) 
The made conscious attempt to differ by displaying 
their learning and scholarship in their poems. They 
were highly learned and they tried to prove their 
learning through their poetry.
Conceit :- a particular type of metaphor or simile. 
For example:- 
“ If they be two , they are two so, 
As stiff twin, compasses are two 
Thy soul the fixed foot, makes no show 
To move, but doth, if th’other do.”
• They use figure of speech excessively. For instance, 
“you are as slow as a snail.” 
• Their similes and metaphors are far fetched and are 
often drawn from unfamiliar source. 
• Their images are logical and intellectual rather than 
sensuous or emotional.
“ Images taken from field of knowledge, science, 
agriculture, geography, history, astronomy, chemistry, 
architecture, geometry, mathematics, biology, medical 
etc. ” 
For example. 
Mark but this flea, and mark in this 
How little that , which thou deniest me is 
It sucke’d me first, and now sucks thee 
And in this flea our two blood mingled be.” 
 The use of such images makes their poetry difficult.
Dr. Samuel Johnson criticize by saying that ” their 
poetry stands a trial of their finger but not of the ear” 
Decline:- 
With the restoration Charles || in 1660 
metaphysical school declined as theatres were 
opened back.
