There is something behind that romance which poet have avoided

BEAUTIFUL LONDON?

Diseased body of London and beautiful coat

Andrew Marvell has unseen those side or just unknown from that?

In every Infants cry of fear”

• The poet has written about the lower class people which is not cup of tea for high class people

Literature is not history but it has sense of past and present

Literature get the idea from society but poet or writer add something from his side also.
