For love all love of other sights controules

 

1For love, all love of other sights controules,

And makes one little roome an every where.

These lines have been taken from "The Good-Morrow" composed by John Donne, the chief exponent of the 'Metaphysical School of Poetry. Here the speaker's contentment in love has been suggested.

These lines occur in the second stanza of the poem. In this middle part of the poem, the speaker utters a general truth about love psychology. When a person is really in love with another person of opposite sex, any other man or woman does not further attract him or her. Real love protects a lover from falling in love with any other person. Lovers enjoying such true love feel that the little room that they occupy represents the whole world. Their small world is the prototype of the real big world. For this reason, true lovers pass life in pure contentment. The speaker of this poem very confidently argues in these lines that their love is complete in itself. It is as good as the whole world. Therefore, they look for nothing else.
