"In 'His Coy Mistress' by Andrew Marvell, love and the fleeting nature of time are masterfully intertwined in a passionate plea for seizing the present moment. With eloquent urgency, Marvell declares, 'But at my back I always hear/ Time's winged chariot hurrying near.' This iconic line encapsulates the poem's central theme, highlighting the speaker's desire to transcend time and consummate his love. Through vivid imagery and persuasive rhetoric, Marvell's words captivate readers, reminding us to embrace love and live fully, for time waits for no one."
