Marvell is Marvelous

I enjoyed Marvell poems, they were a good change of pace. A lot of his poetry was cute and romantic. I like the dialogue between the soul and body and how the two coexist with one another. The body has all this pain because of the soul and vice versa. Its just an ongoing battle between the two. The poems about the mower were also good, each one brought up a new story of Damon and Juliana. The Horation Ode was a unique one to put into the collection because all of the other poems were about love. I thought it was a strange choice. Its about Oliver Cromwell but did Marvell work for him or was Cromwell's return that most writers decided to write about it. I liked how Marvell wrote about Bermuda but in the footnotes it says that he never even went to Bermuda, but the guy he was working for did. Its weird to write about a place that you have never been to.
