Famous quotes containing the word marvell:
“So the soul, that drop, that ray
Of the clear fountain of eternal day,
Could it within the human flower be seen,
Remembering still its former height,
Shuns the sweet leaves and blossoms green;
And, recollecting its own light,
Does, in its pure and circling thoughts, express
The greater heaven in an heaven less.”
—Andrew Marvell (16211678)

All the creatures, except man, doth awe.”

To wander solitary there:
Two Paradises twere in one,
To live in Paradise alone.”
