The poem "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning" by John Donne refers to the comparison of the narrator's separation from his lover to the earthquakes or natural disasters that occur when the Earth's tectonic plates shift. The reference to the "trepidation of the spheres" in the first line of the third stanza alludes to the shaking and repositioning of celestial bodies, representing the intensity of the narrator's emotional and physical separation.
