Our two souls therefore which are one though I must go endure not yet a breach but a expansion like gold to airy thinness beat?

This quote from John Donne's poem "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" expresses a deep connection between two lovers, suggesting that their bond transcends physical separation. Rather than causing a rift, their love allows them to expand and grow, similar to gold being beaten into a thin sheet. This imagery emphasizes the strength and resilience of their relationship, highlighting that true love can endure and thrive even when apart.
