What wondrous life is this I lead! Ripe apples drop about my head The luscious clusters of the vine Upon my mouth do crush their wine The nectarine and curious peach Into my hands themselves do reach Stumbling on melons, as I pass, Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.

But Fate does iron wedges drive, And always crowds itself betwixt.
Andrew Marvell
Image
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.
Andrew Marvell
Image
My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires, and more slow.
Andrew Marvell
Image
Among the blind the one-eyed blinkard reigns
Andrew Marvell
Image
Though I carry always some ill-nature about me, yet it is, I hope, no more than is in this world necessary for a preservative.

Image
Art indeed is long, but life is short.
Andrew Marvell
Image
Ye country comets, that portend No war, nor prince's funeral, Shining unto no higher end Than to presage the grasses fall. . . .
Andrew Marvell
Image
Twas beyond a mortal's share To wander solitary there: Two paradises 'twere in one To live in paradise alone.
