Science Fiction To His Coy Mistress
17th century poet Andrew Marvell's oft-anthologized poem To His Coy Mistress inspired the titles of at least three 20th century speculative fiction works: Joe Haldeman's World Enough, and Time, Ursula Le Guin's Vaster Than Empires, and More Slow, and Peter S. Beagle's A Fine and Private Place.

A fine and brilliant poem.
Fascinating to know the novels it has inspired by fine and brilliant sci-fi writers.
Le Guin's written some poetry, too. Check out her Going Out with Peackocks
