Famous quotes containing the word herbert:

    My tender age in sorrow did begin:
    And still with sicknesses and shame
    Thou did’st so punish sin,
    That I became
    Most thin.
    With Thee
    Let me combine
    And feel this day Thy victory;
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    These are thy wonders, Lord of power,
    Killing and quickning, bringing down to hell
    And up to heaven in an houre;
    Making a chiming of a passing-bell.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Now I am here, what thou wilt do with me
    None of my books will show:
    I reade, and sigh, and wish I were a tree;
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)
