But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack From my first entrance in, Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning, If I lacked anything' A master of form and feeling, George Herbert wrote poetry in both English and Latin that is imbued with dazzling imagery, ardent faith and worldly wit. This new edition of his complete poetry includes his collection of English verse, The Temple , containing such masterpiece as 'Redemption', 'Affliction', 'Love' and 'The Collar', which express a profound, intimate and sometimes tortured relationship with God. Also included in this volume are new translations of Herbert's Latin poetry, from the moving Memoriae Matris Sacrum , depicting his heartbreak after the death of his mother, to the epigrams of Passio Discerpta , narrating the events of the crucifixion. Throughout, Herbert brings his 'constant wit' to bear on anger, sorrow, desperation, wonder, praise and, above all, love.
