Answer:

Donne's concept of eternity assumes the immortality of the soul.

Step-by-step explanation:

He points out that although our body dies, our souls live on eternally (either in Heaven or Hell); thus, the triumph of death is only apparent and temporary, affecting our physical rather than spiritual selves.
