Additional quotes by Andrew Marvell

And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixt,
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.

My love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis, for object, strange and high;
It was begotten by Despair
Upon Impossibility.

No creature loves an empty space;
Their bodies measure out their place.

My love is of a birth as rare As 'tis for object strange and high; It was begotten by Despair Upon Impossibility. - Andrew Marvell
