- Go to George Herbert as a Poet
Equally striking is the wide variety of metrical forms that he used. No less than one hundred and sixteen of his poems are written in forms which he does not repeat. Now there's mastery in poetry! Shelly

As always, your posts take me back to the happy college days! Though the metaphysical poets were not exactly favorites!! Thanks for your note. Ashish is back in Delhi doing freelance consulting!
