Robert Hayman - Family

Family

Hayman was married on 21 May 1604 at St Petroc's Church, Exeter, to Grace Spicer, daughter of a prominent merchant of Exeter; but they appear to have had no children and as Hayman does not mention her directly in his works it seems she died young. Several of the poems later published in the book 'Quodlibets' however are dedicated to other members of the Spicer family, so he apparently remained on friendly terms with them.

Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Chant lessons and your family will prosper; drunken ditties will lead you to ruin.
    Chinese proverb.

    Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)

    The agent’s steep and steady stare
    Corroded to a grin.
    Why, you black old, tough old hell of a man,
    Move your family in!
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
