  This anthology is shaped not by literary chronology but by the timeless human drama it records: its five acts move from speculation and coup de foudre through the troubled enduring of love - its consummations, dangers, joys, perversions and abdications - to loneliness and memory. In addition, the poems are presented anonymously, so that (for example) Marvell's coy lady rubs cold shoulders unexpectedly with Gershwin's naughty baby.
