Gather Ye Roses While Ye May
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Timeless Poetic Expression of Life's Ephemeral Beauty This evocative photograph, titled "Gather Ye Roses While Ye May," captures a young girl in the early 20th century, lost in thought as she carefully gathers a bouquet of roses. The image, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a poignant representation of the enduring power of poetry and literature to inspire and move us. The poem inscribed at the bottom of the photograph, "Gather ye roses while ye may, / Old Time is still a-flying, / And this same flower that smiles today, / Tomorrow will be dying," is a well-known extract from Robert Herrick's poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time." Written in the 17th century, the poem is a call to seize the day and appreciate the beauty of the present moment, as the passage of time inevitably brings change and decay. The photograph's Nouveau style, with its elegant lines and intricate detail, adds to the sense of timelessness and beauty. The girl's simple yet elegant dress and the delicate rosebuds in her hands further emphasize the fleeting nature of youth and the natural world. This image is a reminder that poetry and literature have the power to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire us to appreciate the beauty and fragility of life. Whether you are a lover of poetry, literature, or simply the beauty of a rose, this photograph is a must-see for anyone looking to be moved by the power of the written word.
