Additional quotes by Andrew Marvell

But bowed his comely head
Down as upon a bed.

I would
Love you ten years before the Flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires and more slow.

Had we but World enough, and Time,
This coyness Lady were no crime.
We would sit down, and think which way
To walk, and pass our long Loves Day.

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