Marvell's " To His Coy Mistress"

Hello New Group!
Let me just start out by saying that I have loved this poem for a while. I had found this poem once before when looking for a poem about "love" online during my younger teenage years. It is a bit hard to swallow, but sometimes the things that are best for us are not the easiest. You can tell a lot about a poem if it is broken down and analyzed. After researching a bit about it, I noticed that when he states: "Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
Should'st rubies find: I by the tide" it is during the time where England began exploring and trying new things! It is neat once you find things about history during that time that pertains to the piece itself.
The second point I wanted to make was about "vegetable love". This same vegetable love has everyone else puzzled it seems. I used this phrase as a young teenager before I even knew the meaning. According to another source: "A vegetable comes from the vegetative part of a plant, as opposed to a fruit, which comes from the reproductive part. At any rate, their love for one and the other may well grow slowly, for what ever reason; but it is a growing thing: deep, complex and vast." In my opinion, he was being respectful. It seems like this poem is a lot about sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. How odd, in my opinion, if that is the main point. BUT, when he talks about vegetable love, as noted, this scholar believes he is being respectful in the sense that he is making it known that the center of their relationship is not sex itself; rather something deeper. It's food for thought. haha. Oh dear, what a funny that one was. I suppose it is late night humor.

Questions:
1. What do you think "vegetable love means?"
2. What other hidden secrets about the poem have you found?
