Description
Excerpt from The English Works of George Herbert, Vol. 3 of 3: Newly Arranged and Annotated and Considered in Relation to His Life; Bemerton Poems
The beginning Of the Bemerton life brought to Herbert a joyful sense of attainment. The hopes 0 of many years seemed now about to be realized. The great deed was done. He was no longer cum bered with political, social, or scholarly ties. He and God were to be alone, and his one interest henceforth was to be the priestly Office. 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.
