I love the clever and seductive use of language in the Andrew Marvell's 17th centure poem To His Coy Mistress, a fanastic a plea as ever I've read to get one's ladylove into the sack. There's just something about the line, "And into ashes all my lust" that speaks to me

Thats my favorite poem.

I kept a copy of it in my wallet for something like 10 years before it disintigrated.

Thank you for reminding me of this lovely creature. I remember reading it in my honors English class in high school and being delighted by anything remotely naughty/controversial. It's still positively delightful...;)
