Missed it in High School:

I can't believe I went through high school and never read Andrew Marvell's fantastic poem "To His Coy Mistress." Check this out...

"Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime ...
But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity."

Isn't that great?

Oh it's also Marvell's birthday today (via The Writer's Almanac)
