Teableau for 09/25/25

"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."

A quotation from Robert Herrick

’Twixt kings and tyrants there’s this difference known:
Kings seek their subjects’ good; tyrants their own.

Robert Herrick (1591-1674) English poet
“Kings and Tyrants,” Hesperides, # 861 (1648)

What do we do with--how do we read--can we make us of--a classic and famous metaphysical poem which is also misogynistic?

Useless quote for 14 Feb:

To His Valentine on St. Valentine's Day
"Oft have I heard both youths and virgins say
Birds choose their mates, and couple too this day;
But by their flight I never can divine
When I shall couple with my valentine."

~ Robert Herrick (1591~1674), from "Hesperides, or, The works both humane & divine of Robert Herrick, Esq." published 1648

Riddle-Poem:

Episcopal and Cavalier,
The Sons of Ben sing loud and clear,
Advising youth: make much of time.
We share their use of form and rhyme
But lean toward Presbyterianism.
Rejecting war and civil schism,
We bring about their due defeat
By Metaphysical Conceit.

Who are we, and who are they?

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying."

#RobertHerrick (1648) #poetry #poem

A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoestring, in whose tie
I see a wild civility;
- Delight in Disorder by Robert Herrick

Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!

Good morning. I’ve got a new archival-quality #collage print in my shop, if you’re into things like that. (These do ship internationally from the printer, unlike most of the things in my shop currently, and can be ordered framed.)
