What is the main idea of part two? How is this theme similar to that ofHousman’s “Loveliest of trees”?

What will be an ideal response?



  • Both Marvell and Housman in “Loveliest of trees” are concerned with the passage of time; they differ on what needs to be done about it. Marvell urges action; Housman urges filling one’s youth with observed beauty. Of these two expressions of the carpe diem theme, Housman’s seems the more calm and disinterested.
