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
poetry as an intellectual exercise, an opportunity

F Scott Fitzgerald Jay Gatsby
568 words
The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald,
is set in 1922 in the New York City area. It is
about the American Dream and those who attempt to
reach its illusionary goals. Jay Gatsby acquires
the wealth and the power of his dream but not the
happiness. We have to wonder why F. Scott
Fitzgerald would write such a book. Was it to
reflect the society of the 1920 s: where either
you had money and the dream, or you were poor and
lived amongst the ashes. You could have the chance
of being like th...
