One example of this can be seen in his poem ‘A Valediction’, where he compares himself and his lover to a pair of compasses (the kind used for drawing circles). This unusual simile is used to suggest that she helps him to feel like a complete, perfect circle:\n\n*“Such wilt thou be to me, who must,\n   Like th' other foot, obliquely run;\nThy firmness makes my circle just,\n   And makes me end where I begun.”*\n\n","7cf3e2c4-5c64-4b96-a7bd-b0ef7031d909",[188],{"id":189,"data":190,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"a5d738fd-7f12-4d92-ba78-1fb36465b0cf",{"type":38,"reviewType":20,"spacingBehaviour":20,"activeRecallQuestion":191,"activeRecallAnswers":193},[192],"What is the name given to the extended metaphor used by John Donne?",[194],"Metaphysical conceit",{"id":196,"data":197,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":201},"6c63014d-aba0-4276-b0b1-7397e1aecde7",{"type":20,"title":198,"markdownContent":199,"audioMediaId":200},"Women Writers in Elizabeth I’s England"," ![Graph](image://9b256786-15c9-49a9-aecf-e157cd2d2c77 \"Emilia Lanier\")\n\nToday, there are no known commercial plays attributed to women writers during the Elizabethan era.
