The poem “A Dialogue between the Soul and Body” by Andrew Marvell offers a Christian viewpoint on the ongoing struggle between the spirit and body. The poem separates it into two categories: physical suffering and spiritual suffering. While physical pain is linked to the body, spiritual suffering is linked to sensory distress. Only the Christian spirit of redemption, or self-awareness and meditation, can save the body and soul from this unending suffering. Otherwise, until the body dies away or the spirit departs for its ultimate destination, both of them continue to experience this cycle of sorrow.
