Robert Herrick Robert Herrick worked initially for his uncle as an apprentice goldsmith in London before attending Cambridge. In 1623, he was ordained as a priest and acted as chaplain to the Duke of Buckingham on the expedition to La Rochelle. In 1629 he was appointed to the living of Dean Prior in Devon by Charles I, but was ejected in 1647 under the Commonwealth for refusing the Solemn League and Covenant. He was restored to the living in 1662 after the Restoration of the monarchy, having lived in the meantime in Westminster. Herrick wrote some 2,500 poems, publishing his major collection, Hesperides , in 1648, which contains about half of them. His poetry shows considerable diversity of form, with imitations of the Roman poets Horace and Catallus, epistles, epigrams, love poetry, and folk songs, many of which were later set to music. Herrick was a consummate craftsman and "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying" are his best-known lines. He died a bachelor at the age of 83. To the Virgins, to make much of Time

Robert Herrick Robert Herrick 'Gather ye rose-buds' Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying: And this same flower that smiles to-day, To-morrow will be dying. The glorious Lamp of Heaven, the Sun, The higher he's a-getting The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he's to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer: But being spent, the worse, and worst Times, still succeed the former. Then, be not coy, but use your time; And while ye may, go marry: For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry.

With lips slightly parted she looked at him steadfastly, not at the man beside her who was about to become her husband. Her father, with a last gentle pressure of her arm, had taken his place behind her. In the hush that had fallen throughout the little chapel, all the restless movement of the people who had gathered there this warm June morning was stilled, in the expectation of those ancient words that would unite the two before the altar. Through the open window behind the altar a spray of young woodbine had thrust its juicy green leaves and swayed slowly in the air, which was heavy with earthy odors of all the riotous new growth that was pushing forward in the fields outside. And beyond the vine could be seen a bit of the cloudless, rain-washed sky. There before the minister, who was fumbling mechanically at his prayer-book, a great space seemed to divide the man and the woman from all the others, their friends and relatives, who had come to witness the ceremony of their union. In the woman's consciousness an unexpected stillness settled, as if for these few moments she were poised between the past of her whole life and the mysterious future. All the preoccupations of the engagement weeks, the strange colorings of mood and feeling, all the petty cares of the event itself, had suddenly vanished. She did not see even him, the man she was to marry, only the rugged face of the old minister, the bit of fluttering vine, the expanse of blue sky. She stood before the veil of her life, which was about to be drawn aside.

Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Robert Herrick (Cambridge, 1868 - Saint Thomas, 1938) Escritor y profesor estadounidense. Tras licenciarse en Harvard se dedicó, entre 1893 y 1923, a la docencia en el Departamento de Filología Inglesa de la University of Chicago. Desde 1935 hasta su muerte, Robert Herrick desempeño el cargo de Secretario del Gobernador de las Islas Vírgenes. El tema central de sus novelas es el conflicto entre los ideales de la clase media norteamericana y el materialismo y la ambición de la sociedad urbana. Así, muchas de sus novelas muestran a profesionales y empresarios que se afanan a lo largo de su vida por tener éxito en los negocios para, al final, darse cuenta de que ese empeño tan sólo los conduce a la infelicidad.
