Such was that happy garden-state, While man there walk’d without a mate; After a place so pure and sweet, What other help could yet be meet!

«The grave's a fine and private place, But none I think do there embrace.» (from "To His Coy Mistress") ~ «My love is of a birth as rare As 'tis for object strange and high: It was begotten by Despair Upon Impossibility.» (from "The Definition of Love") ~ #Finished: #ToHisCoyMistressAndOtherPoems by #AndrewMarvell • Rating: 8/10 • Favourite poems: "#ToHisCoyMistress"; "#TheDefinitionOfLove"; "#DamonTheMower"; "#OnADropOfDew"; "#TheGarden"; #TheCoronet; #TheMowersSong; #TheGallery; #TheMatch; #ADialogueBetweenSoulAndBody; #Bermudas • This collection includes much of the poetry from the posthumously published "#MiscellaneousPoems" (1681), the first collected edition of Marvell's poetry. I have read "To His Coy Mistress" and "The Definition of Love" long before this book, so those two were re-readings. The longest poem in the collection is "#UponAppletonHouse", about the features and history of an estate, consisting of 97 octaves and various episodes, some of which are full of Biblical and historical references, the meanings of which the reader should know better to understand the poem better. Marvell is famous for being a Metaphysical poet and therefore used extended metaphors and "conceits", comparing two unlike things in a skillful, clever way in his poetry. His usage of imagery is also excellent. Unrequited love, the inevitability of death and shortness of life, "carpe diem" idea, and soul vs. body are a recurrent themes in Marvell's poetry, as well as nature and pastoral elements. Some of the dialogic/dramatic poems, where the two parts of one body are in clash with each other, like "soul/mind" against "pleasure/body", recall the turmoil of the English Civil War, as well as the direct allusions to the war and Oliver Cromwell in some of the other poems. Persona in love with a reluctant and proud lady and gardens, the latter of which, in some poems, are also symbols of nature and the "lost paradise" idea, are typical Marvellian motifs. ~ «Society is all but rude To this delicious solitude.» (from "The Garden") ~ #Marvell #metaphysicalpoetry #book #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #reading #read #instabook #literature #bookworm #poem #poetry #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/CA9-zyNgMON/?igshid=vzd998b49zkn

«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.» (from "To His Coy Mistress") ~ #BornOnThisDay: #AndrewMarvell (1621-1678), English metaphysical poet, satirist and politician, whose political reputation overshadowed that of his poetry until the 20th century, now considered to be one of the best Metaphysical poets, best known and celebrated with his poem "To His Coy Mistress". ~ Best-known works: • Miscellaneous Poems (1681, poetry collection, posthumously published): "The Coronet", "Bermudas", "To His Coy Mistress", "The Definition of Love", "The Mower to the Glow-Worms", "The Garden", "On Mr. Milton's Paradise Lost", "Upon Appleton House, to my Lord Fairfax", "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland" ~ «My love is of a birth as rare As ’tis for object strange and high; It was begotten by Despair Upon Impossibility.» (from "The Definition of Love") ~ #Marvell #ToHisCoyMistress #TheGarden #TheCoronet #TheDefinitionOfLove #Bermudas #UponAppletonHouse #AnHoratianOdeUponCromwellsReturnFromIreland #TheMowerToTheGlowWorms #OnMrMiltonsParadiseLost #MiscellaneousPoems #metaphysicalpoetry #book #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #reading #read #booklove #bookoftheday #instabook #literature #bookclub #booktube #bookworm #poet #poetry #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/BvqxfiNHrxJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dax48dqxci6t

-Andrew Marvell, 1681

metaphysical poetry ftw. This is one of my favourite texts.

işte o zaman, henüz gençliğin rengi ışıyorken teninde çiğ taneleri gibi ve hala fışkırıyorken istekli ruhun sabırsız bir ateşle bütün hücrelerinden vücudunun işte o zaman bırak gönlümüzce davranalım ve bir çift sevdalı şahin olalım onlar gibi yutalım bir lokmada vaktimizi beklemeyelim onun yavaş yavaş tüketmesini bizi. gel bütün gücümüzü, bütün güzelliğimizi yuvarlayalım seninle ve topa tutup hayatın çelik kapılarını geçirelim sevgimizi öteye. böylece durduramasak da güneşi gökte bırakırız koşsun bizimle birlikte.. -Andrew Marvell
