He raises the number of missions to impossible highs only for his personal gain. This is perhaps a parallel to Washington D.

His only passion in life is marching ...

- ... other thing. It seems clear that time progresses only with change, and part of change is death. Witness, however, Donne's claim that his love does not change, is everlasting. This is not the everlasting day of the North and South poles, but a day where the sun does not wax and wane at all. It is interesting that Marvell finds it necessary to make his sun run since he cannot hold him still "Thus, though we cannot make our ... condensed so that "nothing dwells but love," Death has become a release from the monotony of an endless love that will not let us escape, or for that matter, progress from its "first, last, everlasting day."
