Undoubtedly illness had much to do with the restlessness and despondency which the poems of Group IX describe. The fear. Of it had long been In his mind, and was expressed as early as 1622 in that letter to his mother from which I have already quoted. During the Crisis period it comes out in the priesthood as an other reason for hesitation when he is just coming to a decision.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Works of George Herbert, Vol. 5 of 6 The beginning of the Bemerton life brought to Herbert a joyful sense of attainment. The hopes of many years seemed now about to be realized. The great deed was done. He was no longer cum bored with political, social, or scholarly ties. He and God were to be alone, and his one interest henceforth was to be the priestly ofice. He set himself with characteristic energy to search out all the subtle significance which his present tasks might contain. His life should be as intellectually ordered, as coherent, as beautiful, as compact with rich suggestion, as his verse had been before. He codified his work; he studied from day to day what were the best ways of performing each petty portion of his stately Office.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Works of George Herbert, Vol. 1 of 6: Essays Here are few to whom this book will seem worth while. It embodies long labor, spent on a minor poet, and will probably never be read entire by any one. But that is a reason for its exist ence. Lavishness is in its aim. The book is a box of spikenard, poured in unappeasable love over one who has attended my life. When I lay in my cradle, a devotee of Herbert gave me the old poet's name, so securing him for my godfather. Before I could well read, I knew a large part of his verse, not its meaning, but (what was more important then) its large diction, flexible rhythms, and stimulating mysteries. As I grew, the wisdom hidden in the strange lines was gradually disclosed, and in daily experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Works of George Herbert, Vol. 2: Prose That Herbert intended publication is evident from his words in the authour To the reader, dated 1632. Why the book remained so long un published is unknown. One might suppose the delay due to a belief that so vivid a picture of a punctilious priest would be unwelcome and unsal able at a season of Puritan domination. But the time of its unopposed and successful issue was the culmination of the Puritan triumph, three years after the execution of the King, and a year before Cromwell became Protector. Oley's long first Preface, devoted more to abuse of Puritanism than to description of Herbert, seems to have aroused no hostility. The causes of delay must, therefore, have been of a private nature.

Download or read book A Year with George Herbert written by Jim Scott Orrick and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1633, when The Temple was first published, many notable Christians have testified of their love for George Herbert's poetry. The great nineteenth-century preacher C. H. Spurgeon and his wife would sometimes read Herbert's poetry together on Sunday evenings. Richard Baxter wrote, Herbert speaks to God like one that really believeth a God, and whose business in the world is most with God. C. S. Lewis described Herbert as a man who seemed to me to excel all the authors I had ever read in conveying the very quality of life as we actually live it from moment to moment . . . Regrettably, as the years have passed, Herbert's poetry has been increasingly neglected outside the academy. Many who would love Herbert have never even heard of him. Others feel intimidated by his poetry, fearing that they do not have the education necessary to understand what Herbert has written. In this book, Jimmy Scott Orrick has made the poetry of George Herbert accessible even to those who have had no experience reading poetry. In addition to providing thorough notes for each poem, Orrick also gives basic pointers about how to read poetry. Why not follow C. H. Spurgeon's example and have a page or two of good George Herbert on your Sunday evenings? Those who follow this prescription will be deeply enriched for having spent A Year with George Herbert.
