"But we by love, so much refined,/That ourselves know not what it is./Interassured of the mind./Care less eyes,lips, and hands to miss."

Question

Which best restates the paradox that Donne sets forth in these lines?

A:Most people do not love their spouses physically, yet cannot be apart from them.
B:He and his wife are like twin compasses , always pointing in the same direction.
C:He and his wife are so in love that it does not matter whether they are together.****
D:Most people love their spouses only physically,so they cannot stand separation.

Is this correct?

Answer 1

That is the best answer, however I could have written a better answer: He and his wife have such a strong "oneness" of mind, they could care less about the loss of physical togetherness, if the minds stay unified.

Answer 2

Thank you! And you have a great answer.
