Andrew Marvell Quotes and Quotation

To His Coy Mistress

• Had we but world enough, and time,
  This coyness, Lady, were no crime.
  We would sit down and think which way
  To walk, and pass our long love's day.

• My vegetable love should grow
  Vaster than empires and more slow…

• An age at least to every part,
  And the last age should show your heart.

• But at my back I always hear
  Times winged chariot hurrying near;
  And yonder all before us lie
  Deserts of vast eternity.

• Thy beauty shall no more be found;
  Nor, in thy marble vault shall sound
  My echoing song; then worms shall try
  That long preserved virginity,
  And your quaint honor turn to dust,
  And into ashes all my lust:

• The grave's a fine and private place,
  But none, I think, do there embrace.

• Now therefore while the youthful hue
  Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
  And while thy willing soul transpires
  At every pore with instant fires,
  Now let us sport us while we may,
  And now, like amorous birds of prey,
  Rather at once our time devour
  Than languish in his slow-chapped power.

• Let us roll all our strength and all
  Our sweetness up into one ball,
  And tear our pleasures with rough strife
  Thorough the iron gates of life:
  Thus, though we cannot make our sun
  Stand still, yet we will make him run.

The Definition of Love

• My love is of a birth as rare
  As 'tis for object strange and high;
  It was begotten by Despair
  Upon Impossibility.

• Love's whole world on us doth wheel.

• As lines, so loves oblique may well
  Themselves in every angle greet;
  But ours so truly parallel,
  Though infinite, can never meet.

• Therefore the love which us doth bind,
  But Fate so enviously debars,
  Is the conjunction of the mind,
  And opposition of the stars.
