Andrew Marvell: Idézetek angolul

“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.”

The Garden (1650-1652)
Kontextus: 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.

“Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.”

Forrás: To His Coy Mistress (1650-1652)
Kontextus: Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.

To walk, and pass our long love's day.

“Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.”

Forrás: To His Coy Mistress (1650-1652)

Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.
