Analysis and comments on Clasping of Hands by George Herbert

Comment 1 of 1, added on October 9th, 2005 at 6:28 AM.

This poem is incredible. The rhetoric and rhythm are tightly fused, creating a strong "grip" on the reader, not found to this extent in most of the ethereal or theological works I've been reading. I wonder, however, why little to no criticism exists on this poem; perhaps it is considered too "catchy." I think it is a sublime work I'll read again and again.
