Andrew Marvell war ein englischer metaphysischer Dichter, dessen Werk sich durch seinen scharfen Intellekt und seine spielerische Sprache auszeichnet. Seine Gedichte erforschen komplexe Themen wie Liebe, Zeit und Sterblichkeit mit einer einzigartigen Mischung aus philosophischer Tiefe und sinnlicher Bildsprache. Marvell setzt meisterhaft Ironie und Witz ein, um die Spannungen zwischen Ideal und Wirklichkeit aufzuzeigen, und hinterließ damit einen unauslöschlichen Eindruck in der englischen Literatur.
