Additional quotes by Andrew Marvell

Gather the flowers, but spare the buds.

But at my back I always hear
Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near

Like the vain curlings of the watery maze,
Which in smooth streams a sinking weight does raise,
So Man, declining always, disappears
In the weak circles of increasing years;
And his short tumults of themselves compose,
While flowing Time above his head does close.

My vegetable love will grow Vaster than empires, and more slow. - Andrew Marvell
