Autorenporträt
Robert Herrick (1591–1674) was an esteemed English lyric poet and cleric. Born in Cheapside, London, Herrick became well-known for his collection 'Hesperides' which includes his famous carpe diem poem, 'To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time'. Often embracing the theme of the brevity of life, Herrick's poetry is characterized by its playful and sensual style, reflecting both classical and English folk traditions. A graduate of Saint John's College, Cambridge, he took a path less common for poets of his time by actually being ordained as a vicar in Devon's Dean Prior, where much of his literary work was nurtured. Although 'Together' is not among the well-documented works attributed to Herrick, it is possible it could be a lesser-known composition or a work misattributed to him. His oeuvre primarily remains pivotal for the understanding of the Cavalier poetry movement, juxtaposing the mundane with the divine, thus encapsulating the essence of the 17th century's intertwining of secular and religious life. Herrick's work is seen as a precursor to the subsequent Neo-Classical and Romantic movements, influencing poets with his thematic explorations of love, time, and nature.
