ABSTRACT
John Donne’s poetry is noted for its use of conceit. The reason why his poems have special charm is not only that he is able to master this rhetorical device skillfully, but also that he has made conceit into a mode of thinking. Therefore, conceit carries his philosophical speculation, love oath and religious piety, and this unique expression produces novel effect of defamiliarization and strengthens the emotional tension of his poetry.
