Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that Ocean where each kind
Does straight its resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other Worlds, and other Seas;
Annihilating all that’s made
To a green Thought in a green Shade.
- Andrew Marvell’s “The Garden”
A few lines I read as the preface of a very interesting novel. Try and interpret these lines; profound philosophy. At least I thought so.
