George Herbert/The Temple‹Significance as a Title
Number of pages:
2
ABSTRACT:
A 2 page analysis of the significance of the title 'The Temple,' which Herbert used for his collection of ecclesiastical poetry. The writer argues that Herbert constructs his 'temple,' not with mortar and stone, but with words‹metaphor, simile and rhyme. Yet, his construction is just as concrete as any that has survived the centuries‹as well as being very revealing, as it shows the reader the core of seventeenth-century Christian belief. No additional sources cited.
