The poem explores the theme of the nature of love and the relationship between the physical and spiritual aspects of human experience. The speaker begins by describing how physical beauty, represented by "air", is fleeting and transitory. However, the speaker then goes on to describe how the love between two people can transcend the physical realm and become something more spiritual, represented by "angels". <span id="infos-more" class="collapse"> Through the use of intricate metaphors and wordplay, Donne presents a complex and nuanced view of love and the human experience, making "Air and Angels" one of his most celebrated works.</span> <a class="infos-more-link" data-toggle="collapse" href="#infos-more" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="infos-more">more »</a></p> </div> <div id="content-filters"
