¶ … Marvelous Marvell
We have world without an end, and time as a tool,
Since love, tangible love, breeds not in an empty pool.
Let's sit down and deliberate without haste
Whether to walk or leave the love a day to prostrate.
Lest Dead Sea for Indian Ganges we mistake
And fowl smell, sea shells and fish we take.
For all your complains I withstood,
So should you stand with me through the flood.
Though I may or may not agree,
But time and expanse be the Decree.
As our puppy love grows to African Acacias
Mightier, wider than the drying Savannas.
Eon of years pass like galloping horses,
And you behold the commitment roses.
Twice the Eons to keep our chastity,
Even thrice to aid humanity.
Just a decade to our marriage,
Truly I shall approve to your courage.
For Marvelous Marvel, true love waits,
And uses not time as baits.
For by my side sits the clock
And the delayed crowing of the cock,
The azure cluttered with much a chore
With no time to sit under the bough,
But to work and commit with all our souls.
The mortality fear we put a far
As our graves for long stay ajar
The treasured purity share it with the world,
Our springs of honor renewed by each word.
And you tether your lust from dust
Hence the graves spaces for us lost.
For eternity in our hands we grasp.
With courage lets our efforts muster,
When the youthful courage as our hustler
Brings us the patience of endurance
Face challenges without time discrepancy.
Still waters run deep
Than hurry and later weep
Over wasted time and chances
Over squandered honors, achievements and praises.
For there is time and chance
From glory to glory,
Honor to honor,
Victory comes to those who hold their patience dear,
Them they sing the last song, that which lasts forever.
Andrew Marvell's poem "To His Coy Mistress," the narrator makes it clear that coyness is a "crime," (line 2). Coyness is a crime because it represents withholding gratification for an indefinite time, when human beings do not have unlimited time. Thus, coyness is akin to a crime against nature. To be coy is to deny the passage of time, to deny death, and to deny the reality of aging.
Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" Andrew Marvell is loosely affiliated with the Metaphysical school of poetry, much noted for the wit and novelty of their "conceits" (or figurative language), and his poem "To His Coy Mistress" accordingly adopts a series of different rhetorical figures -- fixed within a tightly rhymed tetrameter stanza -- which attempt to place great rhetorical flourish on what is a simple request on the part of the
That is not what King Henry II had in mind when he gave the ring to Eleanor of Aquitaine. He had in mind love, devotion, and using every moment possible for the best in life. In "We Real Cool," the young pool players are not in fact seizing the day, they are wasting their lives doing exactly what they want to do, rather than doing what will pay them
This darkness is the poem is the suggestion of death, which Eliot's character contemplates throughout the poem. In fact, the last lines of the poem refer to death. Eliot writes, "We have lingered in the chambers of the sea / By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown / Till human voices wake us, and we drown" (Eliot). Eliot's character knows his life is ending, and love and courtship are
