In Donne's poems, 'A valediction: Forbidding Mourning’, ‘The Sun Rising’, and the 'Holy Sonnet' each begin, "At the round earth’s imagined corners". In these poems he uses newly discovered astronomical and geographical ideas.

 

Details, and other works in which Donne incorporates scientific ideas can be found at the site linked in the source box below.
