Additional quotes by Andrew Marvell

What wondrous life in 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.

How fit is he to sway That can so well obey ("Horatian Ode," 83-84),

Gather the flowers, but spare the buds.

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
