Coy Mistress Writing Process

Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress" the speaker is a
lover advancing a conventional 'carpe diem' line
of thought. He systematically reasons with his
desired object about the futility of delaying
their interlude when the hours available to them
are limited, but the lyric may simultaneously
function as a metaphor for Marvel's endeavors as a
metaphysical poet. Metaphysical writers view

Films of this age are often criticized for lacking
substance and compensate for this discrepancy with
explosions and elaborate camera work. Books, on
