The amazing thing about Herbert is his ability with metre. The uniting of thought, words and rhythm are extraordinary. To see Christ's suffering as frightening sin away is strange and beautiful: I can't just read Herbert, I almost have to meditate on him. His ear for language and the sounds of words are very musical.
