Herbert's poetry is associated with the writings of the metaphysical poets, and he is recognized as "a pivotal figure: enormously popular, deeply and broadly influential, and arguably the most skilful and important British devotional lyricist."〔.〕 Born into an artistic and wealthy family, Herbert received a good education that led to his admission in 1609 as a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, where Herbert excelled in languages, rhetoric and music. He went to university with the intention of becoming a priest, but when eventually he became the University's Public Orator he attracted the attention of King James I and may well have seen himself as a future Secretary of State. In 1624 and briefly in 1625 he served in the Parliament of England. After the death of King James, Herbert's interest in ordained ministry was renewed. In his mid-thirties he gave up his secular ambitions and took holy orders in the Church of England, spending the rest of his life as the rector of the little parish of St Andrews Church, Lower Bemerton, Salisbury. He was noted for unfailing care for his parishioners, bringing the sacraments to them when they were ill, and providing food and clothing for those in need. Henry Vaughan called him "a most glorious saint and seer". Never a healthy man, he died of consumption at the early age of 39. Throughout his life, he wrote religious poems characterized by a precision of language, a metrical versatility, and an ingenious use of imagery or conceits that was favoured by the metaphysical school of poets.〔Gardner, Helen ''The Metaphysical Poets'' Penguin Books,1957 ISBN 0-14-042038-X〕 Charles Cotton described him as a "soul composed of harmonies".〔Schmidt, Michael, ''Poets on Poets'' (on George Herbert ), Manchester: Carcanet Press, 1997 ISBN 1-85754-339-4〕 Some of Herbert's poems have endured as popular hymns, including "King of Glory, King of Peace" (''Praise''): "Let All the World in Every Corner Sing" (''Antiphon'') and "Teach me, my God and King" (''The Elixir'').〔''The Baptist Hymn Book'', London: Poems and Hymn Trust, 1962〕 Herbert's first biographer, Izaak Walton, wrote that he composed "such hymns and anthems as he and the angels now sing in heaven".〔Walton, Izaak ''Life of George Herbert'', 1670〕 ==Biography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Herbert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
