The vivid imagery in Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress” and Anne Bradstreet’s “To My Dear and Loving Husband” shows love in bloom, love languishing and love lost in two different ways.

However, there is also a major difference between the two poems, which really characterises the poets’ contrasting perspectives about love.

In the first line of the poem Pound mentions the front gate of the wife’s as a sort of playground for her, a sanctuary so to speak. The wife as a young girl seems to show control over the gate’s environment by deciding how it should look. She is described to be “pulling flowers”, without a care in the world when she first encounters her husband who at the time was a child.
The nature of the relationship between these two men has been debated for centuries. Is it platonic love or something deeper than that? The young man described in not only this poem, as well as the
