"But we by love, so much refined,/That ourselves know not what it is./Interassured of the mind./Care less eyes,lips, and hands to miss."

Which best restates the paradox that Donne sets forth in these lines?

A:Most people do not love their spouses physically, yet cannot be apart from them.
B:He and his wife are like twin compasses , always pointing in the same direction.
C:He and his wife are so in love that it does not matter whether they are together.****
D:Most people love their spouses only physically,so they cannot stand separation.

Is this correct?

all my homies love bobpursley

That is the best answer, however I could have written a better answer: He and his wife have such a strong "oneness" of mind, they could care less about the loss of physical togetherness, if the minds stay unified.

Thank you! And you have a great answer.

Yes, you are correct. The paradox that Donne sets forth in these lines is best restated in option C: "He and his wife are so in love that it does not matter whether they are together."

Donne's lines suggest that their love is refined and elevated to such a high level that they themselves do not fully understand it. They are so sure and confident in their love that they do not need physical closeness or reassurance through eyes, lips, and hands. Their love transcends the need for physical affection, hence they "care less" about it. This conveys the idea that their love is so profound that physical presence becomes less important.
