[lbo-talk] sailing poem

[Carrol Cox]

Well, assume it's a seduction poem.. Then why does it make "success" seem so
unpleasant: "Tear our pleasures with rough strife / Through the iron gates
of life."

Ah, yes, Marvell. I don't know why people say Donne is hard. I think Marvell
is 
much, much harder.

I can see he's a great poet, but I have a very hard time understanding him.
