19. In Herbert's "The Pulley", what
alone among the blessings does God
withhold from man?
x Your Answer: pleasure
The correct answer was rest
In a clever play on words,
Herbert has God say: "Yet let him
keep the rest / But keep them
with repining restlessness." Man
is allowed all of the blessings
accept for rest, because if
"goodness'’ will not lead man to
God, "yet wearinesse / May toss
him to my breast." It is this
weariness--this lack of rest-that
serves as the pulley drawing
man to God.

18. George Herbert ends his poem
"The Collar" with these lines:
"Methought | heard one calling,
Childe: / And | reply'd "
———
x Your Answer: Forgive Me
The correct answer was My Lord
In this poem, Herbert confesses
his infantile rebellion against the
strictures of God. He describes
himself almost as one throwing
a temper tantrum: "| struck the
board, and cry'd, No more." He
bemoans the time he lost
enjoying the sweet savor of sin
and thinks he should embark on
those pleasures now, but at
length he hears the gentle voice
of God calling him His child, and
that is all Herbert needs to be
reminded of his helplessness." |

lover is now run, "nor,’ he says,
"will my sun renew." And so he

all."
