A Comparison of Andrew Marvells To His Coy Mistress and John Donnes T

A Comparison of Andrew Marvells To His Coy prostitute and John Donnes The Sunne Rising Both verse forms To His Coy Mistress and The Sunne Rising were written by metaphysical poets, this is one of many similarities in the poems. However, in that location are also a number of differences between them. In twain poems, there is an diaphanous link to the theme of Carpe Diem which simply means seize the day. The poems relate to cartridge clip and that of how its running out. They seem to be in a rush. The content of the poem is Marvell writing a poem to his love partner. They are truly in love with each other and their love is very passionate for one another. However, there is something missing in their relationship and that is the sexual side. They havent had sexual intercourse and the poem is about Marvell trying to persuade his partner into making love to him. He feels that time is running out and that they should seize the moment. The life expectancy wa s at a lower rate in the times of the poem, and he doesnt want to reserve things too late. There were many types of diseases in those days, with health services very limited. Today, our life expectancy is on average 77, however, in those days anyone who reached the age of 40 was considered as an older-aged person. He obviously feels that his partner needs a slight push into making love he shows this by calling her his Coy Mistress, which means his shy or reluctant woman. The poem is split into three paragraphs, which is unusual for poems. These three paragraphs state the three stages of argument. The first part is trying o say that if they had all the time in the world, then he wouldnt need to wr... ... can make you feel happy, but love is more important in life. Money can be liked but never loved like true beauty. I believe its imperative that we look at the poems from a different perspective. Both compliment the women mentioned but both have differe nt messages. To His Coy Mistress is a persuasive poem which contains flattery to try and allure the woman to take their relationship to the next level. In The Sunne Rising, the message is that love is more important than wealth. The main themes are time and love and both are conveyed very cleverly with both wit and deception. I enjoyed both poems as they both showed sound comparisons and true feelings. I preferred the poem by Andrew Marvell as it had a sense of urgency and it was rhythmic to which I found exciting as I never knew what to expect next in the poem.
