Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or began:
“The six-daies world-transposing in an houre,
A kinde of tune, which all things heare and fear;”

“When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
Such was their luster, they did so excel,
That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
