metaphysical poets 玄學派詩人
The metaphysical poets is a term coined by the poet and critic Samuel Johnson to describe a loose group ofBritish lyric poets of the 17th century, whose work was characterized by the inventive use of conceits, and by speculation about topics such as love or religion. These poets were not formally affiliated; most of them did not even know or read each other.

A Valediction Forbidding Mourning
conceit 巧喻(用八竿子打不著的事物去形容另一種事物)
In literature, a conceit is an extended metaphor with a complex logic that governs a poetic passage or entire poem. By juxtaposing, usurping and manipulating images and ideas in surprising ways, a conceit invites the reader into a more sophisticated understanding of an object of comparison. Extended conceits in English are part of the poetic idiom of Mannerism, during the later sixteenth and early seventeenth century.
