More quotes by Andrew Marvell
Let us roll all our strength, and all Our sweetness, up into one ball: And tear our pleasures with rough strife, Through the iron gates of life. Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run.
Andrew Marvell
But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near.
Andrew Marvell
The world in all doth but two nations bear- The good, the bad and these mixed everywhere.

How fit he is to sway That can so well obey.
Andrew Marvell
Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less, Withdraws into its happiness The mind, that ocean where each kind Does straight its own resemblance find Yet it creates, transcending these, Far other worlds, and other seas Annihilating all that's made To a green thought in a green glade ... Such was that happy garden-state.
Andrew Marvell
What wondrous life is this I lead! Ripe apples drop about my head.

No white nor red was ever seen So am'rous as this lovely green. Fond lovers, cruel as their flame, Cut in these trees their mistress' name. Little, alas, they know or heed How far these beauties hers exceed! Fair trees! where s'e'er your barks I wound, No name shall but your own be found.
Andrew Marvell

Andrew Marvell
Casting the body's vest aside, My soul into the boughs does glide.
Andrew Marvell

Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run
Andrew Marvell
Gather the flowers, but spare the buds.
Andrew Marvell
Therefore the love which us doth bind, But fate so enviously debars, Is the conjunction of the mind, And opposition of the stars.
Andrew Marvell
My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires, and more slow.
Andrew Marvell
Among the blind the one-eyed blinkard reigns
Andrew Marvell
Annihilating all that's made, To a green thought in a green shade.
Andrew Marvell
And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity.
Andrew Marvell
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. Thou by the Indian Ganges'side Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide Of Humber would complain. I would Love you ten years before the flood.
