The upshot of it all could nearly be expressed, Christians are wrong, but all the rest are bores." -C. S. Lewis From The Temple George HERBERT (1593 - 1633) George Herbert was a country minister, and a protégé of the great metaphysical poet John Donne. In The Temple, Herbert combines these two aspects of his training in one of the greatest cycles of religious poetry ever written.The soloist reads us a selection from this work
