Symbol

Symbols are very important in poetry. In both To His Coy Mistress and To the Virgins to Make Much of Time time is a very important symbol. It represents a entity that has bounds. Time is essential to both poems because this symbol is telling in the former a woman to sleep with him and in the latter for women to marry as soon as possible. The symbol of time is quintessential in both poems and truly encapsulates how important symbols are in poems. Symbols define the soul of the poem and can truly dictate how to poem will go and how it will flow.
