To His Coy Mistress
Andrew Marvell’s To His Coy Mistress is undoubtedly my favorite poem thus far this semester. A poem that is very difficult to comprehend, but as you read and study it a few times it clearly becomes easier to understand Marvell’s work. A dictionary is very supportive for this poem to understand the histories of words. A poem written so long ago contains language that has entirely changed in use and meaning over the past few hundred years.
