Unified Sensibility: T.S. Eliot popularized the phrase 'unified sensibility'. According to him, after the seventeenth century, there has been either poetry of thought or poetry of feeling. Such a separation of thought from feeling is called dissociation of sensibility. But in the early part of the seventeenth century feeling and thought were combined, they were one operation of the mind. This is called 'unified sensibility' or 'unification of sensibility'. John Donne and other metaphysical poets had a unified sensibility. Their poetry expresses through thinking and feeling. For example in the poem 'The Canonization', the lovers will be regarded as saints of love and worshiped accordingly. Donne blends thought and feeling in his conceits to achieve this unification of sensibility. The situation remains emotional while its treatment and description is intellectual.

"And death shall be no more, Death thou shalt die."Metaphysical poetry also explored a few common themes.One great way to analyze metaphysical poetry is to consider how the poems are about both thought and feeling.(Death be not proud)

"She is all states and all princes I Nothing else is " (The Sun Rising)

"Ride ten thousand days and nights,

Till age snow white hairs on thee" (Go and Catch a Falling Star)
