Herbert Poems by George Herbert (Hardback Book)

Everyman

Herbert experimented brilliantly with a remarkable variety of forms, from hymns and sonnets to \""pattern poems,\"" the shape of which reveal their subjects. Such technical agility never seems ostentatious, however, for precision of language and expression of genuine feeling were the primary concerns of this poet who admonished his readers to \""dare to be true.\"" An Anglican priest who took his calling with deep seriousness, he brought to his work a religious reverence richly allied with a playful wit and with literary and musical gifts of the highest order. His best-loved poems, from \""The Collar\"" and \""Jordan\"" to \""The Altar\"" and \""Easter Wings,\"" achieve a perfection of form and feeling, a rare luminosity, and a timeless metaphysical grandeur.\n\nHerbert Poems\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised is as low as we can go \u2014 we do not accept or respond t;
