The Sephardic poet Yehuda Halevi (4840/1080 ~ 1141) wrote the verse: לבי במזרח ואנכי בסוף מערב"My heart is in the East / and I am at the end of the West." The English metaphysical poet John Donne (1572 - 1631) borrowed this metaphor in his poem Riding Westward (1613): "Hence is't, that I'm carryed towards the West, / this day, when my soul forme bends toward the East." Is this concept found in some other poem?
