One of his poems describes oranges as "golden Lamps in a green Night" and is titled after an island "far kinder than our own." In addition to "Bermudas," he wrote a poem in which he describes his love as "begotten by Despair / Upon Impossibility" and compares it to two parallel lines. In another poem, he writes of the title location that "Society is all but rude / To this delicious solitude," and that poem's sixth stanza describes how the mind "withdraws into its happiness," "annihilating all that's made / To a green thought in a green shade." In his best-known poem, the speaker resolves that "though we cannot make our sun / Stand still, yet we will make him run," and begins, "Had we but world enough, and time." For 10 points, identify this poet of "The Definition of Love," "The Garden," and "To His Coy Mistress."
