I really enjoyed Donne's "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning," because he makes it sound as if both 
parties have to be equally involved, "Whose soul is sense," representing the idea that two become 
one, and thus can withstand time, and distance, because they never have left each other. It's 
important the Donne points out carelessness of some, based on their inept for choosing poor 
partners that aren't really connected to them. I think Donne makes a point of being aware of yourself 
and your partner. I think this is completely relavent today, too, especially regarding our troops in the 
military. It's really quite a beautiful poem. I also read Michael Shoffner's response about in poetry 
every word having two meanings, so I will also have to apply that technique to my further readings.
