Themselves in every angle greet :
But ours, so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.

Additional quotes by Andrew Marvell

She with her eyes my heart does bind, She with her voice might captivate my mind.

Art indeed is long, but life is short.

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 shade.

As lines, so love's oblique, may well Themselves in every angle greet : But ours, so truly parallel, Though infinite, can never meet. - Andrew Marvell
