“My
vegetable love should grow vaster than empires and more slow.” This is a quote
from “To His Coy Mistress,” by Andrew Marvell. It is a love poem but it is very
unique when compared to other love poems. Instead of declaring his love
passionately and exaggerative he writes as if they have an eternity and life
goes on forever. They can wait forever to fall in love. This quote talks about
his love being gradual but that the strength their love will have because it
was not rushed. Rather than a normal love poem this one does not feature the
common cultural ideal of “love at first sight.”
