ANDREW MARVELL
He was an English metaphysical poet, satirist and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1659 and 1678. During the Commonwealth period he was a colleague and friend of John Milton.
His poems range from the love-song "To His Coy Mistress", to evocations of an aristocratic country house and garden in "Upon Appleton House" and "The Garden", the political address "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland", and the later personal and political satires "Flecknoe" and "The Character of Holland".
He is now considered to be one of the best Metaphysical poets.
CARPE DIEM
It is a Latin aphorism, usually translated "seize the day".
Carpe is the second-person singular present active imperative of carpō "pick or pluck" to mean "enjoy, seize, use, make use of". Diem is the accusative case of the noun dies "day".
A more literal translation of "carpe diem" would thus be "pluck the day as it is ripe". That is, enjoy the moment.

BROTHERS GRIMM
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, were German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the 19th century.
They were among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, and popularized stories such as "Cinderella", "The Frog Prince", "Rapunzel", "Sleeping Beauty","The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats", and "Snow White".
Originally, Grimm’s Fairy Tales were not meant for children. The stories routinely included sex, violence, incest, and copious footnotes. Worse yet, they didn’t even have illustrations.
