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 acpaniment. 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.
2.1 George 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
[1]his holding prominent positions at Cambridge University and Parliament. 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.
2.2 George Herbert’s Writing Style
[2] George Herbert was a religious poet as well as one of the Metaphysical poets.
His poems are characterized by “a precision of language, a metrical versatility, and an
第 1 页 共 7 页
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
[4] to the God.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
[5]realm”, such beauty-advocating theme can be also found in George Herbert’s writings.
2.3 General 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 BRIDAl/ 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
第 2 页 共 7 页
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
[7]used in poetry and songs”. And a rhyming scheme is “the pattern of rhyming lines in a
[8]poem or song”.
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 pacted lie, B
My music shows ye have your closes, D
第 3 页 共 7 页
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 plex 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” pares 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
第 4 页 共 7 页
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 parison, 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 International Children‘s Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each year.
The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.
June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all), and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1

THE WIND风
(Part I)
Who has seen the wind? 谁曾见过风的面貌?
Neither I nor you; 谁也没见过,不论你或我;
But when the leaves hang trembling, 但在树叶震动之际,
The wind is passing through. 风正从那里吹过。
(Part II)
Who has seen the wind? 谁曾见过风的面孔?
Neither you nor I; 谁也没见过,不论你或我;
But when the trees bow down their heads, 但在树梢低垂之际,
The wind is passing by. 风正从那里经过。
~by C. G. Rossetti
另一首诗人的风之歌
O wind , why do you never rest, 风啊!为何你永不休止
Wandering, whistling to and fro, 来来回回的漂泊,呼啸
Bring rain out of the west, 从西方带来了雨
From the dim north bringing snow? 从蒙眬的北方带来了雪。
THE CUCKOO布谷鸟
In April, 四月里,
Come he will, 它就来了,
In May, 五月里,
Sing all day, 整天吟唱多逍遥,
In June, 六月里,
Change his tune, 它在改变曲调,
In July, 七月里,
Prepare to fly, 准备飞翔,
In August, 八月里,
Go he must! 它就得离去了!

by C. G. Rossetti
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets
So love the people who treat you right and forget about the one’s who don’t And believe everything happens for a reason
If you get a chance---take it
If it changes your life—let it
Nobody said that it would be easy
They just promised that it would be worth it
When You Are Old
By William Butler Yeats
When your are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crod of stars.
当你老了
叶芝
当你老了, 头发白了, 睡意酣沉,
在火边打盹, 请拿下这本书,
细细品读, 回想当年的温存
那是你昔日的眼波, 还有那眸影的幽深. 多少人钟情你那优雅而欢乐的韶华, 仰慕你的芳容, 亦诚亦假.
只有一人深爱你朝圣者的追求, 爱你渐渐衰老的哀愁.
弯下腰, 在火焰炽红的炉栅旁, 低声地, 凄婉地, 诉说爱的消亡, 看那爱神正漫步在头顶的山岗, 在群星中掩藏脸庞.

A Grain of Sand
一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉. 布莱克
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild fllower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
从一粒沙子看到一个世界,
从一朵野花看到一个天堂,
把握在你手心里的就是无限,
永恒也就消融于一个时辰。
Love Your Life
热爱生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利. 大卫. 梭罗
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.
It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.
You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.
The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.
The town’s poor seem to me often to live the most in dependent lives of any. May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.
Most think that they are above being supported by the town;
but it of ten happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.
which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.
Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.
Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那
样坏。你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要
爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕
阳反射在济贫院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前,积雪同在早春融化。
我只看到,一个从容的人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想
。城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大,所以受
之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的,不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用
了不正当的手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱的,毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而
像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样,无论是新的朋友或新的衣服,来麻烦你自己。找
旧的,回到那里去。万物不变,是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想。
The pure.the bright,the beautiful, 一切纯洁的, 辉煌的, 美丽的, That stirred our hearts in youth, 强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的, The impulses to wordless prayer, 推动着我们做无言的祷告的,
The dreams of love and truth; 让我们梦想着爱与真理的;
The longing after something’s lost, 在失去后为之感到珍惜的,
The spirit’s yearning cry, 使灵魂深切地呼喊着的,
The striving after better hopes- 为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着的-
These things can never die. 这些美好不会消逝。
The timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手,
A brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的时候,
A kindly word in grief’s dark hour 伤恸、困难的时候,一句亲切的话 That proves a friend indeed ; 就足以证明朋友的真心;
The plea for mercy softly breathed, 轻声地乞求怜悯,
When justice threatens nigh, 在审判临近的时候,
The sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一种伤感--
These things shall never die. 这些美好不会消逝。
Let nothing pass for every hand 在人间传递温情
Must find some work to do ; 尽你所能地去做;
Lose not a chance to waken love- 别错失去了唤醒爱的良机-----
Be firm,and just ,and true; 为人要坚定,正直,忠诚;
So shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒
Beam on thee from on high. 就不会消失。
And angel voices say to thee---你将听到天使的声音在说-----
These things shall never die. 这些美好不会消逝。
英文诗歌经典:生如夏花(泰戈尔)
Life, thin and light-off time and time again
Frivolous tireless
one
I heard the echo, from the valleys and the heart
Open to the lonely soul of sickle harvesting
Repeat outrightly, but also repeat the well-being of
Eventually swaying in the desert oasis
I believe I am
Born as the bright summer flowers
Do not withered undefeated fiery demon rule
Heart rate and breathing to bear the load of the cumbersome Bored
Two
I heard the music, from the moon and carcass
Auxiliary extreme aestheticism bait to capture misty
Filling the intense life, but also filling the pure
There are always memories throughout the earth
I believe I am
Died as the quiet beauty of autumn leaves
Sheng is not chaos, smoke gesture
Even wilt also retained bone proudly Qing Feng muscle
Occult
Three
I hear love, I believe in love
Love is a pool of struggling blue-green algae
As desolate micro-burst of wind
Bleeding through my veins
Years stationed in the belief
Four
I believe that all can hear
Even anticipate discrete, I met the other their own
Some can not grasp the moment
Left to the East to go West, Gu, the dead must not return to
See, I head home Zanhua, in full bloom along the way all the way
Frequently missed some, but also deeply moved by wind, frost, snow or rain
Five
Prajna Paramita, soon as soon as
Shengruxiahua dead, as an autumn leaf
Also care about what has
生命,一次又一次轻薄过
轻狂不知疲倦
——题记
一
我听见回声,来自山谷和心间
以寂寞的镰刀收割空旷的灵魂
不断地重复决绝,又重复幸福
终有绿洲摇曳在沙漠
我相信自己
生来如同璀璨的夏日之花
不凋不败,妖治如火
承受心跳的负荷和呼吸的累赘
乐此不疲
二
我听见音乐,来自月光和胴体
辅极端的诱饵捕获飘渺的唯美
一生充盈着激烈,又充盈着纯然
总有回忆贯穿于世间
我相信自己
死时如同静美的秋日落叶
不盛不乱,姿态如烟
即便枯萎也保留丰肌清骨的傲然
玄之又玄
三
我听见爱情,我相信爱情
爱情是一潭挣扎的蓝藻
如同一阵凄微的风
穿过我失血的静脉 驻守岁月的信念 四 我相信一切能够听见 甚至预见离散,遇见另一个自己 而有些瞬间无法把握 任凭东走西顾,逝去的必然不返 请看我头置簪花,一路走来一路盛开 频频遗漏一些,又深陷风霜雨雪的感动 五 般若波罗蜜,一声一声 生如夏花,死如秋叶 还在乎拥有什么
优美诗歌欣赏:人生颂
A Psalm of Life
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I
Tell me not, in mournful numbers, 别用悲伤诗句对我吟唱; Life is but an empty dream! 人生不过是场空虚的梦! For the soul is dead that slumbers, 因为灵魂沉睡等于死亡, And things are not what they seem. 事物本质与其表象不同。 II
Life is real—life is earnest— 人生皆真实人生非虚无! And the grave is not its goal: 最终的归宿决不是坟地
Dust thou art, to dust returnest, “你本是尘土必归尘土,” Was not spoken of the soul. 这话所说的并不是灵魂。
III
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, 我们命定的道路和终点, Is our destined end or way; 既不是享乐也不是受苦; But to act, that each to-morrow 而是行动,让每个明天 Find us farther than to-day. 都觉超越今天在迈新步。 IV
Art is long, and time is fleeting, 艺海无涯时光却眨眼逝, And our hearts, though stout and brave, 任我们的心勇敢又坚强, Still, like muffled drums, are beating 却仍像蒙住的鼓击。 Funeral marches to the grave. 哀乐送我们步步向坟场。 V
In the world’s broad field of battle, 在世界角逐的广阔战场, In the bivouac of Life, 在人生征途的露宿营地, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! 别像被驱赶的哑口牛羊! Be a hero in the strife! 要做个英雄去奋斗搏击! VI
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! 别指望未来, 不管多可爱! Let the dead Past bury its dead! 让死的过去把死的埋葬! Act —act in the glorious Present! 快行动在活生生的现在!
Heart within, and God o’er head! 胸怀一颗心头顶有上苍! VII
Lives of great men all remind us 伟人的生平向我们昭示; We can make our lives sublime, 我们能使一生变得辉煌, And, departing, leave behind us 而我们一朝告别,都是 Footsteps on the sands of time. 将脚印留在时间沙滩上; VIII
Footsteps, that, perhaps another, 脚印!也许有别的弟兄, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, 航行在人生严峻的海上,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, 当沉船遇难而惨遭不幸, Seeing, shall take heart again. 看到这脚印信心又增长。 IX
Let us then be up and doing, 就让我们奋发精神抖擞, With a heart for any fate; 敞开胸怀迎接任何命运; Still achieving, still pursuing, 不断地获得不断地追求, Learn to labor and to wait. 学会苦干还要待机而进

I Think I Can
If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't; If you want to win but think you can't; It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost; For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in a state of mind. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger and faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can.
