Everything you need to understand or teach The Vine by Robert Herrick.
Robert Herrick was an early modern English poet whose work often rejected the Puritan sensibilities of his day in favor of embracing the pleasures of life. His poems were thus largely unread in the Victorian period, and have been marginalized in scholarship ever since. This poem, "The Vine," was published in his 1648 collection, Hesperides. It reports an erotic fantasy in which the main character turns into a vine in order to embrace his lover.
