Answer:
C
Explanation:
During the 17th century, the metaphysical poets such as John Donne, Andrew Marvell, John Cleveland, and Abraham Cowley used a literary device known as the metaphysical conceit. A metaphysical conceit is a complex, and often lofty literary device that <u>makes a far-stretched comparison between a spiritual aspect of a person and a physical thing in the world.</u> Quite simply, a metaphysical conceit is an <u>extended metaphor, which can sometimes last through the entire poem.</u> A metaphysical conceit works to connect the reader's sensory perceptions to abstract ideas. Although the conceit slowly went away after the 17th century, due to being perceived as artifice, some later poets like Emily Dickinson used it.
