George Herbert as the poet of "Easter Wings" and and "The Collar"

George Herbert was a 17th-century English poet who is known for his religious poetry. Two of his most famous poems are "Easter Wings" and "The Collar."

 

In "Easter Wings," Herbert uses a unique structure to convey his religious message. The poem is written in the shape of two wings, with each line gradually increasing in length and then decreasing again. This structure represents the ascension of Christ and the hope of salvation for believers. The poem also contains religious imagery and references to biblical passages, emphasizing the Christian message.

 

"The Collar" is a more personal and introspective poem. It explores the theme of rebellion against God, as the speaker questions his faith and struggles with feelings of frustration and anger. However, the poem ends on a hopeful note, with the speaker realizing that he cannot find peace without surrendering to God's will. The use of colloquial language and rhetorical questions gives the poem a sense of intimacy and authenticity.
