Rest Of The Poem Iambic Tetrameter

The seventeenth century was an era of beautiful
poetry. Two poets in particular, Andrew Marvell
and John Donne, wrote carpe diem poetry full of
vivid imagery and metaphysical conceits. Each
conveyed the message of living for the now. This
message can be clearly seen in the poems To his
Coy Mistress by Marvell and Donne s Flea. By using
clever metaphors and meter, the poems not only are
symbolic, but have almost a physical aspect to
them. Though both poems take a similar approach,
it is Marvell t...

Is evolution just a theory? ? A basic argument
used by creationists is that evolution is only a
theory and cannot be proven. This creationist
argument is based on the false assumption that the
only way to prove evolution is for someone to
actually observe large evolutionary changes, for
example birds evolving from dinosaurs. Since this
cant be accomplished in a few lifetimes,
creationists claim that proving evolution is
impossible. This argument totally ignores the
enormous amount of factual dat...
