The Garden (1650-1652)
Context: 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.

To walk, and pass our long love's day.
“Love's whole world on us doth wheel.”
The Definition of Love (1650-1652)
“The world in all doth but two nations bear —
The good, the bad; and these mixed everywhere.”
