Everything you need to understand or teach To His Coy Mistress.
Andrew Marvell was an English poet who lived from 1621 to 1678. "To His Coy Mistress" is his most famous poem. It belongs to the "carpe diem" tradition, meaning "seize the day" – poetry meant to encourage living in the moment. It is thought to have been authored in the 1650s, during a time of significant unrest in Marvell's life and in the broader social and political world. However, it was not published until the posthumous collection Miscellaneous Poems in 1681.
