THE FLEA
Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deny’st me is;
lt sucked me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea, our two bloods mingled be;
Thou knowest that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead.
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pampered, swells with one blood made of two,
And this, alas, is more than we would do.
John Donne

It is more interesting poem for me and l was studing literarture l learned tis poem and want to share with you.At the Ronesans the flea represents marriage, union, consummation through intimach. There is a man who wants to be with a girl or marry her and he dreams her.He sees a flea on the bed. He dreams the flea sucks his blood and her blood.Then they meet in the flea.He asks her she would marry him but she refuses him by killing the flea.She doesn't want to marry him because there are sins and there are a baby.And her family don't want.His request for intimacy goes on througout the poem. He thinks that married with her and having a baby in the flea isn't sin.
Poet dreams as if they are in the flea, is interesting, unusually.l think poet is very creative person.
