To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time By Robert Herrick

Dead Poets Society

Robert Herrick: An English Poet Birth: 1591 in London, England Herrick was an apprentice to a goldsmith/jeweler to the king Started writing after losing his position in the church during the civil war His poetry matures from his earliest works to his latest, from ‘women-crazed’, to more spiritual topics Strongly influenced by Ben Jonson and also the Elizabethan age Few people enjoyed his poems at the time he wrote

To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow 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.

Symbol Something that on the surface is its literal self but which also has another meaning or even several meanings Examples: “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may” Meaning to live your life while you can. Rosebuds are the symbol because they something at only last so long, as does ones life. “The sooner will his race be run” Life is being compared to a race because in life one tries to do as much as one can before it’s over.

Carpe Diem The definition of it is recognizing the brevity of life and the need to live for and in the moment ( i.e. living in the moment) In the poem it is used as the central messege in that people should live today and only worry about tommorow when it comes
