I never thought about it that way, but if he was there would be a much more immediate reason for him to be so ambiguous rather than just intellectualism. <br />Thanks for commenting :)Juli Rahelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367150240867758577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022230834119760805.post-44236556608581474222013-09-25T12:15:22.037+01:002013-09-25T12:15:22.037+01:00Sorry, just saw some spelling mistakes, because I ...Sorry, just saw some spelling mistakes, because I write/type to quickly.Natasja Stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603727704788108557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022230834119760805.post-82231514397359155912013-09-25T12:12:51.842+01:002013-09-25T12:12:51.842+01:00Hi, I loved to read your analysis. I actually thin...Hi, I loved to read your analysis. I actually think (don't know if it is true)... that Marvell might be Schizoid? Cause then he would always long to feel love in it's whole, but is never able to reach it. Therefor, he describes love as impossible. He is not able to feel the emotion, nor relate with it, while he actually longs for it. Maybe that is the reason why this whole poem is so ambigious :) Just read into it what Schizoid it, and you will see it in a lot of poems. Because most Schiziod aren't able to tell how they feel, but they put it into art and other creative works. So that they in someway can relate to the emotion.<br /><br />Hope you like my answer. I could tell more of it, but I have lunch during my working hours :)Natasja Stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603727704788108557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022230834119760805.post-21952410806670307182013-05-02T15:13:06.887+01:002013-05-02T15:13:06.887+01:00Thank you so much for sharing this analysis.
