Book cover. George Herbert, The Complete Poetry

Author portrait. George Herbert

"Love bade me welcome. Yet my soul drew back
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
If I lacked any thing."
– George Herbert #botd

Having free time with no cell phones probably did more for the appreciation of the classics than we realise. #Donne #metaphysicalpoets
