If you have a poetry corner in your "Favorites", you might like to add the complete works of Andrew Marvell (1621 - 1678):

At the bottom are links to his biography and the rest of his work.

Edited to delete a sweeping generalization from which falsehoods too numerous to list could be inferred.

Oh my, visited this too late in the day. I find it hard to concentrate when I'm sleepy. It's in my favorites & will look again in the morning.
Thanks for the link- angèle
PS wish I could have seen what you edited :-)

Angele, it was something about the Puritans not having gained the upper cultural hand in 17th century Netherlands - this was a relatively rowdy, bodacious, witty time in which painters and other art forms epitomizing the height of fine art like Rembrandt flourished. The next century in fine art strikes me as relatively pretentious and more decoratively hollow. Can't believe this is what I've wound up doing with my computer - using 21st technology to live in centuries from stone age into early 20th.

I really don't know as much about what I'm talking as I sound. It's just a fascinating journey.
