Sun Rising & A Slap to the Church

So I think I'm in love with John Donne.  Although his poems are shocking in their comparisons or "conceits", they convey an honesty and expressiveness that grabs me much more than any of the others poets we have studied.  I find his comparison of intangible things to the tangible, gritty realities of life much more gripping and moving then the straightforward love poem or the kowtowing odes to royalty that seemed to fill much of the sixteenth and seventeeth centuries.  I also enjoy his complex satirical wit.  Donne's line at the end of "Sun Rising": "This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere" seems to me a slap in the Church's face.  The Church was vehemently opposed to Galileo and his support and defense of Copernican heliocentric ideas, so much so that it tried him for heresy and imprisoned him in 1633 because of his beliefs.  This is the same time that Donne wrote "Sun Rising" and I believe that it is no coincidence; the parallel of the lovers in bed to the center of the universe is a satirical commentary on contemporary culture and issues.  Donne seems to poke fun at the Church and its scorn for a sun-centered universe, and the best part is that he can get away with it through his literature!
