[lbo-talk] sailing poem

[JOANNA A.]

A lot of seduction poems have a memento mori moment. This is a particularly brilliant one, but it's still a hint to gather ye roses while ye may.

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.

You understand his best known poem, "To His Coy Mistress", don't you?
