A quotation from Robert Herrick

Kings seek their subjects’ good; tyrants their own.

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."

A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoestring, in whose tie
I see a wild civility;

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.)

The Night Piece, to Julia collage features hand-cut pieces of monotype papers in grays and blues, as well as torn pieces from antique books. The composition forms a seascape with a silver moon in the upper left in a dark domed sky over blue waves. Some dark rocky islands and sandy beach in the foreground complete the image, which floats on a white background. The title is from a poem by Robert Herrick, a portion of which is included in the lower portion of the collage.
