Sidney Rogers 3rd
To his coy mistress
A poem like this I feel can mean so many different things,
and everyone can interpret it differently, but when I think about it in the
terms of love I think it is talking about two young lovers that had the whole
love at first sight thing. They have the have their whole lives ahead of them
and plan to spend every moment together. I think he is describing how every day
his love for her grows stronger and if he could he would have met her long
before he did.
I love
the thought of meeting a guy who knows the little details about me, for
instance not only does he knows that my eyes are green, he knows that they are
darker on the outer side and fade to lighter green towards the center, and
there are little hits of brown and yellow mixed in. Such as in the way he
says “ An hundred years should I go to
praise, thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze.
Another
random connection that I made to the text was this. When you are in love with
someone so perfect for you it is hard to settle for anyone less. I have seen
this so many times in high school, people share certain experiences with people
where they think that they are the one, then when things don’t work out for so
many reasons people can have a hard time getting over it. Yet I think in this
relationship described they knew from the start it was right and neither where
afraid do make a commitment to each other. And although everyday will be a
journey and adventure they are willing to go through it together. I just realized,
I could be completely just hearing what I want to hear. I guess this is just
what I wish for myself. I hope what I have said does relate to the text
anyways.
