Come live with me and be my love
Focus: Marlowe’s use of words in communicating the meaning of the poem and how his poem is a memorable one.
The poem “come live with me and be my love” is a love poem written by Christopher Marlowe, persuading his love to come and spend some time with him. It is a poem full of romantic and passionate words that form natural imagery to convey the poet’s feelings and what he means.
By the way the poet uses words to persuade his love, makes the poem similar to the poem, “To his coy mistress”.
In the first stanza, the poet says, “Come live with me and be my love”. He just says “come” and does not add “please” to show her a bit of urgency but in a polite or calm tone. He stresses on the

This sentence he has made also involves nature to show how he really wants them to relax. He also uses the word, “seeing” to show to her that it is only for pleasure. He then says, “By shallow rivers to whose falls”. The poet uses the word, “river” because the river is indeed a peaceful and quiet place to be and that that is what he wants. Then he says
“Melodious birds sing madrigals”. Again he uses a natural imagery to create a nice impression in his love’s mind.
In this stanza, the poet is just beginning to try to capture his love’s mind with calm and passionate natural imagery.
“And I will make thee beds of roses and a thousand fragrant posies”.
Although the persona is using natural imagery to capture his love’s mind still, over here he uses this allusion to convince his love to come and live with him. He uses this allusion because he knows that roses cannot be made out posies no matter the amount, he wants to show to his love that he loves her so much that he would do something impossible and something that could take forever. In the next two sentences, he says, “A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle” to explain to his love that if she comes to live with him, he would make her a kirtle (a skirt made with leaves) of myrtle. He shows her that it would be a beautiful one when he uses the word, “Flowers”. Also, in this stanza, he uses natural imagery to convince his love.
In stanza four the persona
What is the ultimate form of a tragic love? For Wong, it is neither denial nor acceptance, but an eternal state of longing and waiting. Among Wong Kar Wei’s internationally acclaimed productions, Days of Being Wilde (1990), In the Mood for Love (2000), and 2046 (2004) are loosely counted as a trilogy of love. In the end chapter of his trilogy 2046, Wong continues to focus on Chou-Mu-Yun, a sentimental yet callous writer and womanizer. Revolving around the affairs of Chou, 2046 presents to its audience three pathways that love could possibly offer: to unite in happiness, to move on after the denial from the loved one, and to linger upon the unanswered love in perpetuity. Chou is undoubtedly chosen to be the bearer of the last pathway. As the

The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States. I recently watched the documentary The Loving Story and enjoyed the footage, pictures, and interviews of everyone involved in the Loving v. Virginia case. The documentary addressed the issue of interracial marriage in Virginia in 1967.
She gives up trying to communicate her feelings at this point, and asks him to stop talking about it. He responds to this nervously, repeating that he doesn 't want her to do it, it doesn 't matter to him. The girl then threatens to scream; one might think she is tired of his craven disassembling.
Myrtle represents the contrasting women of the lower class. She is an opportunist; she is obsessed with wealth and material possessions. She will do anything to be of a higher social class. She is sexualised and objectified by the dominant wealthy man.
I knew right away I made a mistake. He borrowed somebody 's best suit to get married in, and never told me about it, and the man came after it one say when he was out…”(pg.37). This shows how Myrtle cares about nothing but what she sees in front of her all she cares about is materialistic things. She looks at Tom in a different way because Tom is a guy that can buy his own suits when he needs them and not borrow it like George did. She considers Tom as the definition of the American dream.

she is trying to make out that unless he does this he wont be a man.
In the second stanza, the poem compares his love to a plant that does not bloom. The flowers are hidden deep within the plant. The text is expressing that while most would not appreciate a flower that does not bloom, the love described here goes far beyond that of anyone else’s. Inner beauty is admired. The narrator is not ashamed of his love. Yet, he feels as though he cannot compare her to anything of this world. He is entirely consumed by the spirit within her.
Love is difficult to define, difficult to measure, and difficult to understand. Love is what great writers write about, great singers sing about, and great philosophers ponder. Love is a powerful emotion, for which there is no wrong definition, for it suits each and every person differently. Whether love is between family, friends, or lovers, it is an overwhelming emotion that can be experienced in many different ways.

The second poem is another love poem ‘The Passionate Shepherd To His Love’ by Christopher Marlowe. There are many similarities and differences between the two poems. Both poems are love poems aimed at women, and both are trying to persuade. In ‘To His coy Mistress’ the poem is split into a thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis and is attempting t persuade a woman to give up her virginity. ‘Passionate Shepherd’ is set into a series of four line long stanzas which form an ideal rural world where a man wants his love to live with him.
I met her two years ago and we did not have much to say at that time. Little did I know that she would later steal my heart and become an intimate part of my life. As the saying goes "there is someone for anyone at any time in this life" and I was about to find out that this saying was so true. I have had a wall built around me and my defense was as a stronghold to protect myself from all the relationships that have come and gone over the years. I thought that I was meant to be alone in this old life and happiness was forever gone from me. This wonderful woman I am speaking of is Mary Doe, and the joy she has given me has revived my hope and faith that I may have finally found love and peace within. She has made me feel like I am a child
