罗伯特·赫里克传记

诗人的传记

牧师兼诗人罗伯特·赫里克出生于伦敦，是富有的金匠尼古拉斯·赫里克的第七个孩子。1592年11月，立下遗嘱两天后，他的父亲从四楼的窗户跳楼自杀。然而，女王的阿蒙纳并没有像通常自杀时那样没收赫里克的财产。没有赫里克上学的记录。1607年，他师从叔叔威廉·赫里克爵士，成为一名金匠。《乡村生活:致他的兄弟杜先生》《赫里克》(1610)是赫里克所知最早的诗歌，描写了他从伦敦搬到莱斯特郡的农场生活。《致我最亲爱的妹妹梅里斯·赫里克先生》写于1612年之前。1613年，他进入剑桥大学圣约翰学院，并与克利普斯比·克鲁成为朋友，他给克鲁写了几首诗，如《婚礼之歌》。他于1617年获得文学学士学位，1620年获得文学硕士学位，1623年被任命为牧师。 By 1925 he was well known as a poet, mixing in literary circles in London such as that of Ben Jonson. In 1629 he was presented by Charles I to the living of Dean Prior, a remote parish of Devonshire. The best of his work was written in the peace and seclusion of country life; 'To Blossoms' and 'To Daffodils' are classical depictions of a devoted appreciation of nature. However, having refused to subscribe to The Solemn League and Covenant, he was ejected from Devonshire in 1647. He then returned to London publishing his religious poems Noble Numbers (1647), and Hesperides (1648). He was distinguished as a lyric poet, and some of his love songs, for example, 'To Anthea' and 'Gather Ye Rose-buds' are considered exceptional . In 1660 he was reinstated at Dean Prior where he lived for the remainder of his life. He wrote no more poems after 1648, and is buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard at Dean Prior.
