Donne’s poetry was a good example to the modernists in the early 20th century. It is because of his peculiar imagery which was originated from his wide knowledge of new science of those renaissance days. All of the peculiar imagery in Donne’s poems are related with his curiosity for the newly found science and geography. For example, the passion and desire for women are expressed with every image using the new science things. The telescope, compass, magnet and the alchemistic knowledge are good devices for his poems: these new things were revived in his poetry as good images. In his love poems he does not moan or admire like the other sonnet poets of Elizabethan period. He persuades women with logical dialogues and uses scientific things to express his emotion. His poetic dictions and phrases are colloquial and they are similar to the dialogues of a drama. As if the heroes of Shakespeare talk on the stage, Donne’s poetic speakers persuade their lovers with logics. As a conclusion, we can tell Donne a poet not of heart but of logical mind. Imagery from his logical mind and colloquial expressions made Donne the best example that in the early 20th century the modernists imitated.
