The Modest Ambition of Andrew Marvell: A Study of Marvell and His Relation to Lovelace, Fairfax, Cromwell, and MiltonUniversity of Delaware Press, 1995 - 216 страници Marvell's evolving notion of his own role as poet is exhibited through his "reformation" of certain images in which an ultimate consistent development emerges that culminates in not just his rejection of what may be called the Edenic impulse, but a denial of its authenticity as such and an endorsement of destined progression. Both his occasional and thematic poetry may be seen for the most part as a response to the regicide, to the Interregnum, and perhaps most important, to his associations with four major figures of the time - Lovelace, Fairfax, Cromwell, and Milton. |

Страница 36 - Tis madness to resist or blame The force of angry Heaven's flame: And, if we would speak true, Much to the man is due, Who, from his private gardens, where He lived reserved and austere, As if his highest plot To plant the bergamot, Could by industrious valour climb To ruin the great work of time, And cast the kingdoms old Into another mould.
Страница 89 - Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less, Withdraws into its happiness; The mind, that ocean where each kind Does straight its own resemblance find; Yet it creates, transcending these, Far other worlds, and other seas; Annihilating all that's made To a green thought in a green shade.
Страница 41 - Though Justice against Fate complain, And plead the ancient rights in vain, (But those do hold or break, As men are strong or weak,) Nature, that hateth emptiness, Allows of penetration less, And therefore must make room Where greater spirits come.
Страница 114 - And then at last our bliss Full and perfect is, But now begins; for from this happy day The old Dragon, under ground In straiter limits bound, Not half so far casts his usurped sway, And, wroth to see his kingdom fail, Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.
Страница 78 - So much one man can do That does both act and know. They can affirm his praises best, And have, though overcome, confest How good he is, how just, And fit for highest trust.
Страница 70 - Oh thou, that dear and happy isle The garden of the world ere while, Thou paradise of four seas, Which heaven planted us to please, But, to exclude the world, did guard With wat'ry if not flaming sword; What luckless apple did we taste, To make us mortal, and thee waste?
Страница 84 - And sends the fowls to us in care On daily visits through the air. He hangs in shades the orange bright Like golden lamps in a green night, And does in the pomegranates close Jewels more rich than Ormus shows.
Страница 80 - And like the three-fork'd lightning first, Breaking the clouds where' it was nurst, Did thorough his own side His fiery way divide : For 'tis all one to courage high The emulous, or enemy; And with such, to enclose Is more than to oppose.
Страница 171 - For this is not the liberty which we can hope, that no grievance ever should arise in the commonwealth, that let no man in this world expect ; but when complaints are freely heard, deeply considered, and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty obtained that wise men look for.
Страница 53 - My Saviours head have crown'd, I seek with Garlands to redress that Wrong; Through every Garden, every Mead, I gather flow'rs (my fruits are only flow'rs) Dismantling all the fragrant Towers That once adorn 'd my Shepherdesses head.
