Famous quotes containing the word marvell:

    But all its chief delight was still
    On Roses thus its self to fill:
    And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
    In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.

    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    My mind was once the true survey
    Of all these meadows fresh and gay,
    And in the greenness of the grass
    Did see its hopes as in a glass;
    When Juliana came, and she,
    What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    And yet these Rarities might be allow’d,
    To Man, that sov’raign thing and proud;
    Had he not dealt between the Bark and Tree,
    Forbidden mixtures there to see.
    No Plant now knew the Stock from which it came;
    He grafts upon the Wild the Tame:
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
