In the twentieth century, experimental writers tried randomly connecting words by pulling them out of a hat. In some ways, the metaphysical poets seem to connect words almost as randomly. But there is a difference between making unusual juxtapositions and randomly connecting words.
Look at the lines below from "The Sun Rising" by John Donne and note how the poet organizes the words to create a cacophonous effect. Copy and paste the lines into your response below and try substituting some of the words with other words. You might want to keep the types of words the same. For example, you could substitute a modifier with another modifier or a verb with a verb. Then read the resulting lines aloud and describe in a short paragraph what this exercise suggests about the metaphysical poets' method of word choice.
Thou, sun, art half as happy as we,
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.
