Abstract
The paper presents the selected poems of three Metaphysical poets and reference to the odes of Horace who coined the term “Carpe Diem”. The selected poems, discuss in details the notions of lusty chase, modesty, seduction with a highly intellectualized, strange imagery, paradoxes and unification of extremely complicated thoughts. An amalgamation of amorous, religious and cynical themes is perceptible in metaphysical poetry. The research paper unique from the previous researches as it is on the idea of “Carpe Diem” itself. Instead of analysing and elaborating the literary works incorporating concept of carpe diem, this research paper uses different poems to define and clarify the definition and varied shades of “Carpe Diem”. The study of three metaphysical poems defines the concept of carpe diem independently and comprehensively. The focal points of the paper are the meaning, influence and significance of Carpe Diem in literature and poetry in particular and its relation to human life.
