Paper Summary:

The Latin phrase "carpe diem" is interpreted into English as "to seize the day," and has been utilized as a rallying cry (primarily by those whose youth has fled) to immerse yourself in life before life passes you by. This theme has been at the center of countless poems, stories, plays, novels, essays, and movies and continues to be as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago when it was first coined. In a thorough analysis, one can clearly justify that the poem, "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time," by Robert Herrick is little more than a poetic restatement of carpe diem.
