That allows this poem to have a universalized personal experience that he conveyed to his readers. The principal theme of the poem is that lovers remain united even when they are physically separated. Donne proves his idea by argument‚ conceits‚ passion‚ and thought.

Within this story‚ the royal family is given distinguishing traits that explain why the princess would choose death upon her lover.

Cohen follows this opening with the long passage of time in which kids move out and “Your mate dies” but all the while the lovers are confined to that same room- silent yet making their presences known with “their intense love.” “One day the door is opened to the lover’s chamber” whose inside is depicted as a garden and oasis “full of colours‚ smells‚ [and] sounds you have never known.” The singular use of lover in the above line is not an error on
