John Donne's "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning" is a discussion and reflection about death. He muses that good men don't fear death and they die mildly which allows their souls to depart from their bodies gently. The reader learns that the narrator is addressing his love that has died and that a lover's separation should resemble the way good men die....gentle. Then the poet describes the type of communion that a person has with a loved one and then that of a spiritual communion with God. He talks about the fact that earthly lovers who have a true love, will only be separated in the physical and that spiritually they will be together forever.
