Marvell also uses the carpe diem theme to his poem ‘To His Coy Mistress‚’ however with three certain sections within the poem. The first part elaborates on the idea of unlimited time; this then evolves a ‘but’ into the poem that everything must come to end and death catches up upon us. Then in the last third of the poem

I have seen roses damask’d‚ red and white‚ But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I noticed that there is imagery of smell being used‚ through the contrast of delightful perfumes compared to "the breath that from my mistress reeks." Another source of imagery I noticed was through sound. The mistress ’ voice cannot compare to that of music illustrates the idea that her voice is not like that of sweet‚ enchanting music.

Shakespeare and ‘Blessing’ by Imtiaz Dharker. I will focus on the differences and similarities between both poems in terms of language‚ themes and poetic devices. I feel that ‘Sonnet 130’ seems to imply the fact that Shakespeare is insulting his Mistress. He does so by saying what she is not. He says negative things about her appearance and voice.

Comparison between Sonnet 116 and His coy mistress After looking at Sonnet 116 I have realised that it has some comparisons and differences to To his coy mistress. Sonnet 116 is a short poem which discusses the features of true love and how it cannot be killed by time‚ it is everlasting.

Sonnet 116 is a Shakespearean sonnet;
