Who is robert herrick?

Famous quotes containing the words robert and/or herrick:

    Of the wheel as it rolls unrelentingly over
    A cow plodding through car-traffic on a street in Iasi,
    And over the haunts of Robert Pinsky’s mother and father
    And wife and children and his sweet self
    Robert Pinsky (b. 1940)

    Methought her long, small legs and thighs
    I with my tendrils did surprise;
    Her belly, buttocks, and her waist
    By my soft nervelets were embraced;
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
