If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.
These are the concluding lines of "The Good-Morrow", composed by John Donne, most known metaphysical poet. Here the speaker logically draws the conclusion that their love is eternal.
The lovers greet their love as soon as they become aware that they are already in love without knowing it. Then they express their satisfaction. They feel that their small room gives them the pleasure of the whole world. Their love is complete in itself. It is as good as the whole world. Therefore, they look for nothing else. The sea discoverers may try to find out new countries or islands. The cartographers (map makers) may add new and newer places in their maps. But their world is complete in itself. They do not need any other thing in their world. The speaker argues that when different elements are not mixed in proper combination the productiones not last long: it dies. Similarly, if in love, the passions of the lovers are not equally intense, the love between them does not last long. But the passions of the lovers of the poem are equally intense, and so, their love will never die. These lines imply that the lovers love each other very intensely and they will continue to love each other in future, even after death. So, "The Good-Morrow" presents the power of spiritual love.
