A Brief Introduction to George Herbert and His

Virtue

1.Introduction

This thesis aims to introduce a Metaphysical poet George Herbert and one of his poem Virtue in which virtue is sung highly of.

There are two parts in the main body of the thesis. The first part gives readers a brief introduction of George Herbert, his family and his writing styles. In the second part, the poem Virtue is analyzed in two aspects: musicality and image, added by an appreciation of the poem as an accompaniment. In the end of the thesis, what have been mentioned are brought to a conclusion to reveal George Herbert’s values toward life.

2.George Herbert and His Virtue

George Herbert lived in the period of Renaissance in the Great Britain, influenced by John Donne, the representative of the Metaphysical school, also by the religion of Anglicanism, most of his works praised highly of the God and beauty, which can be found in one of his poem Virtue.

2.1George Herbert and His Family

George Herbert, (3 April 1593 – 1 March 1633) was a Welsh poet, orator and priest. Being born into an artistic and wealthy family, he received a good education which led to his holding prominent positions at Cambridge University and Parliament. [1] His mother was a patron and friend of John Donne and other poets and one of his brothers was an important poet and philosopher, often regarded as “the father of English deism” which give little George an intellectual environment that is full of arts.

2.2George Herbert’s Writing Style

George Herbert was a religious poet as well as one of the Metaphysical poets. [2] His poems are characterized by “a precision of language, a metrical versatility, and an

ingenious use of imagery or conceits that was favored by the metaphysical school of poets”.

[3] Great talent can been found in his teenage hood. When at the age fifteen, George created his first two sonnets in which he expressed the theme of “the love of God is more honorable than that of a woman”. Since then he had made up his mind to devote all his life to the God. [4] His works The Temple, published in 1633, mainly sang the praises of the greatness of the God and conveyed his sincere devotion. Under the influence of Metaphysical poetry in which a primary Platonic concept can be found of the idea that “the perfection of beauty in the beloved acted as a remembrance of perfect beauty in the eternal realm”, [5] such beauty-advocating theme can be also found in George Herbert’s writings.

2.3General Analysis of Virtue

The poem Virtue, by three simple demonstrations of however cool, calm and bright, sweet day being replaced by the night; however angry and brave, sweet rose is bound to die; no matter how much sweet days and roses, sweet spring will gone finally, illustrates the eternal natural truth of everything will meet its end. However in the last stanza, the poet indicated that “only a sweet and virtuous soul” (virtue) can survive forever, which makes a bright contrast with the previous natural truth to highlight the theme of the poem.

2.3.1 Musicality

Musicality is embodied in two aspects of meter and rhyme.

2.3.1.1 Meter [6]

In poetry, meter is the specific pattern in which stressed and unstressed syllables are put together The Virtue has the beauty of rhythm, especially in the first and the last stanzas.

In the first stanza, as listed as follow, the bold capital letters stand for stressed syllables or arsis while the lowercase letters stand for unstressed syllables or thesis. And the punctuation of slash”/” divides different foots in each verse:

sweet DAY/ so COOL/ so CALM/ so BRIGHT!,

the BRIDA l/ of the EARTH /and SKY:

the DEW/ shall WEEP/ thy FALL/ to-NIGHT;

for THOU/ must DIE.

Generally speaking, in the above stanza there is a unstressed syllable followed by an

stress syllable, this stanza belongs to the Iambic Foot. This arrangement forms a kind of clear and vivid rhythm.

In the last stanza, the poet applied another different meter:

only a SWEET/ and virtuous SOUL,

like seasoned TIMBER/ never GIVES;

but THOUGH/ the whole WORLD/ turn to COAL,

then chiefly LIVES.

This stanza mainly has the characteristics of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable, which agrees with the usage of the Anapaestic Foot. This arrangement makes an emphasis of the uniqueness of virtue and the winding melody of the pronunciation.

2.3.1.2 Rhyme

A rhyme is “a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words and is most often used in poetry and songs”. [7] And a rhyming scheme is “the pattern of rhyming lines in a poem or song”. [8]

George Herbert used the poetic technique of End Rhyme, more exactly: Perfect Rhyme and Alternating Rhyme Scheme (ABAB-CBCB-DBDB-EFEF) in his Virtue to cause a particular effect as analyzed as follow:

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright! A

The bridal of the earth and sky: B

The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; A

For thou must die. B

Sweet rose, whose hue, angry and brave, C

Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, B

Thy root is ever in its grave, C

And thou must die. B

Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, D

A box where sweets compacted lie, B

My music shows ye have your closes, D

And all must die. B

Only a sweet and virtuous soul, E

Like seasoned timber, never gives; F

But though the whole world turn to coal, E

Then chiefly lives. F

2.3.2 Image

An image “is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time".In the poem, four images are used: day, rose, spring and timber. In the first stanza, “day” represents hope. Sweet day means the new beginning and the symbol of bridal refers to purity. However, as the approach of the night, the dew weeps for the end of the day, which reveals that even hope cannot escape the disaster of ending. In the second stanza, “rose” indicates life. But the sweet rose grows within the terrible grave. “grave” indicates death. The picture of a rose’s rooting in the grave shows that death is the mother of life, while life is doomed to die. Therefore there is a close relationship between death and life, the former and the latter cannot be separated. A life has to face its death in its very ending. In the third stanza, spring stands for beauty. The sweet spring just likes a container that fills sweet days and roses, fills everything beautiful. Nevertheless, sweet, fine, and nice as the spring is, it cannot disprove the natural rule that everything has its end the way music has its start and its end. In forth stanza, “timber” compares to eternality. Timber that is seasoned is the best wood for construction for it will never bend and last for a very long time, which is similar to the merits of virtue---firm, unshakable, splendid and

ever-long-lasting. Even the whole world would burn to ash, the virtue would survive eternally. Summing up, the first three stanzas praise highly of the beauty of nature, and grieve over the inevitable end of all the beautiful things. The last stanza enriches the meaning of beauty from the degree of nature up to virtue and suggests the theme that virtue lives an eternal life, which achieves the climax of the poem.

3.Conclusion

In George Herbert’s Virtue, he used simple images to reflect the theme that there is always cycle operating in all the existing matters; nothing can avoid its termination other than the soul with distingue virtue. The poem has totally four stanzas in which contradictions are implied: in each stanza, the first three verses contradict with the last

verse; as a whole, the first three stanzas contradict with the last stanza. By the application of some figures of speech, such as repetition, contrast and comparison, the poet manifested a profound meaning of relationship between life and death, termination and rebirth, material and spirits. Consequently, the poem Virtue constitutes the reflection of what the attitude is of George Herbert, a religious Metaphysical poet towards life: nothing but a virtuous soul perpetuates.

The Basic Elements of Appreciating English Poetry 1.What is poetry? ?Poetry is the expression of Impassioned feeling in language. ?“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.” ?“Poetry, in a general sense, may be defined to be the expression of the imagination.” ?Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty. ?Poetry is the image of man and nature. ?“诗言志，歌咏言。” ---《虞书》 ?“诗言志之所以也。在心为志，发言为诗。情动于中而行于言，言之不足，则嗟叹之；嗟叹之不足，故咏歌之；咏歌之不足，不知手之舞之，足之蹈之也。情发于声；声成文，谓之音。” ---《诗·大序》 ?“诗是由诗人对外界所引起的感觉，注入了思想与情感，而凝结了形象，终于被表现出来的一种‘完成’的艺术。” ---艾青：《诗论》 2.The Sound System of English Poetry a. The prosodic features ?Prosody (韵律)---the study of the rhythm, pause, tempo, stress and pitch features of a language. ?Chinese poetry is syllable-timed, English poetry is stress-timed. ?Stress: The prosody of English poetry is realized by stress. One stressed syllable always comes together with one or more unstressed syllables. eg. Tiger, /tiger, /burning /bright In the /forest /of the/ night, What im/mortal /hand or /eye Could frame thy/ fearful /symme/try? ---W. Blake Length: it can produce some rhetorical and artistic effect. eg. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea, The Ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me. ---Thomas Gray Long vowels and diphthongs make the poem slow, emotional and solemn; short vowels quick, passionate, tense and exciting. Pause: it serves for the rhythm and musicality of poetry. b. Meter or measure (格律) poem---stanza/strophe---line/verse---foot---arsis + thesis; Meter or measure refers to the formation way of stressed and

中英文诗歌鉴赏

中英文诗歌鉴赏考试题目与答案 1．In regard to what Poetry is, one of the traditional definitions in China is “poetry is to sing what is in the heart”; (原文为：诗者，吟咏情性也。) thousands of years later, the great poet in Britain Wordsworth interprets poetry as “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.” (可译为：诗是强烈情感的自然流露), please make a comment on the two definitions of poetry above. You may answer in either English or Chinese. 答：中国诗歌重在言志抒情。由于人们的社会地位不同，所以反映的志愿也不一样，如李贺的《南园十三首》之五：“男儿何不带吴钩，收取关山五十州。请君暂上凌烟阁，若个书生万户侯？”表达了诗人的不得志。杜甫的“安得广厦千万间，大庇天下寒士俱欢颜，风雨不动安如山。”表达了诗人忧国忧民的情怀。而西方诗歌重在对感情的自然流露。 2．Auditory effect is of great value in reading a poem. What are the elements contributing to the auditory effect in Chinese poems and English poems? Please answer the question above with some examples. You may answer in either English or Chinese. 答：CP: 1. Effects achieved by monosyllabic nature of the characters. 2.Effects achieved by possession of fixed tones of the characters. 3.Effects achieved by other devices (rime,alliteration,riming compounds, reduplication,onomatopoeia ) rime: 静女其姝，俟我於城隅。 爱而不见，搔首踟蹰。 静女其娈，贻我彤管。 彤管有炜，说怿女美。 自牧归荑，洵美且异。 匪女以为美，美人之贻。 Analysis:The poem is mainly in four- syllabic line, with an occasional extra syllable (in stanza I, line2, and stanza III, line3) the rime scheme is :AAOA,BBCC,DDCD

The commentary of The Passionate Shepherd to His Love This term, we took the English Poem course, in which Mr. Luo guided us fling in the poem world to appreciate the beauty of poems. In all of the poems we have learnt, I appreciate The Passionate Shepherd to His Love most. Yet I really don’t know how to appreciate a poem. Indeed, I haven’t got to the level to appreciate poems. So, I just write my own understanding to this beautiful poem. The Passionate Shepherd to His Love, was written by Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593○)who was an English dramatist and poet，translator of the Elizabethan area, born in Canterbury，England, died in Deptford, England. Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian until his mysterious early death. Marlowe greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe’s death. Marlowe’s plays are known for the use of blank verse, and their overreaching protagonists. Marlowe was the first great English Dramatist. He brought to the English stage a new concept of tragedy, one in which the drama centers around the struggles of a man overwhelmed by his passions and ambitions. ○2This short poem is considered to be one of the most beautiful lyrics in English literature. It derives from the pastoral tradition, in which the shepherd enjoys an ideal country life, cherishing a pastoral and pure affection for his love. Strong emotion is conveyed through the beauty of nature where lovers are not disturbed by worldly concern. The first time I read the poem, I just thought it was too directly for the shepherd to express his love to the girl he loved. For me, if I were the girl, I would not accept the shepherd’s love because his love was so intensely that I don’t know how to respond his love. But the second I read it carefully, almost word by word. I was deeply moved by the shepherd’s real and pure love. In the world he created for himself and his love, the girl lived an ease life like a princess. He showed a picture on what he would promise if she accepts to be his love. There was a heavenly like scene in the picture, he imagined them sitting upon the rocks, watching the other busy shepherd who had to work hard, and they relaxed themselves by listening to the birds' singing, and seeing the river falls. The shepherd also ensured her that he is willing to do whatever it takes to please her. He was so infatuated with the girl that I am a little jealous of her. The girl was so lucky to be loved by such a infatuated and romantic man. The structure of the poem is very clear. The poetry started out with a direct initiation. The speaker showed his purpose clearly, which is asking the woman he admired to be his lover. The following stanza showed a picture on what he would promise if she accepts to be his love. Then he drew different scenes when they were together. The shepherd also ensured her that he is willing to do whatever it takes to please her. This could be seen from the line 9~18. He made promises on difficult mission such as making bed of roses, thousand fragrant posies, and leaves of myrtle, coral clasps and amber studs…ext. From line 19, it responded to the idea of the first stanza that is to persuade the woman to be his love and to live with him. The repeating sentences "come live with me and be my love," may work as the function of emphasizing, and expression of eagerness. The style and writing type of the poem is very good. This poem is a typical pastoral, that is, a type of poem that deals in an idealized way with shepherds and rustic life. It sings
