Robert Herrick.

In 1591Robert Herrick was born in London, England where he became educated at an early age. Early in life he became part of a literary coterie and was something of a Propertius during these years. Later he received a small ecclesiastical living in Devonshire and gradually settled down to a peaceful country life. Herrick liked writing small poems instead of long poems. He never married and lived with a household of pets. Herrick would preach …

…love as a theme in a lot of his poems. I think since he never got married and got to experience love, he had to express himself because love was an important idea in his life. That is why his poems dealt with women he wanted to love and just about love itself. What he felt about love was what his poems reflected on. Herrick became a famous poet because he what his poems reflected.
