Hannah Rosing s1652001 Word count: 1435 words Madness is the root of all endings During Shakespeare’s era1‚ as Adrian Ingham points out‚ it was commonly understood that there was a clear line to be drawn between madness and divine inspiration.

“The flea”‚ Donne professed a devotion to a kind of spiritual love that transcended the merely physical. Here‚ anticipating a physical separation from his beloved‚ he invokes the nature of that spiritual love to ward off the ‘tear-floods’ and ‘sigh-tempests’ that might otherwise attend on their farewell.
