“But Herbert is most dear to us because his poems suggest an intimacy of discourse between the poet and his creator. Not for Herbert the attitude struck by Donne, who can begin a poem by telling off a heavenly body (“Busy old fool, unruly sun”).

It was here too that she learned that a human mind, a truly human mind, is nurtured over time, with hard work and discipline.”
