This week I read "The Collar” by the English poet George Herbert, who lived during the 1600’s.
This poem depicts one man’s struggle with his chosen calling of the priesthood versus his burning desire for freedom and adventure.
I also discuss the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Counter-Reformation, and the flows of history that connect Herbert with our modern age.
This poem is proof that we’re not disconnected from history, and that the more things change, the more some things stay the same.
