Explanation:

John Donne's "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" talks of the pain of separation between two lovers for a really long duration. This poem was written by him for his wife before he left for his trip to Continental Europe.

The marriage of John Donne and his wife Anne More was a secret affair which was hard for them. He felt alone and away from the friends and families that were always a part of his life. The duration of their "supposed" alienation from their families was like the poem's theme of separation for a long time. His marriage was only accepted by his father-in-law after more than 8 years. This union also led to his dismissal from his job and imprisonment, further alienating him from his beloved wife.
