Such technical agility never seems ostentatious, however, for precision of language and expression of genuine feeling were the primary concerns of this poet who admonished his readers to "dare to be true." An Anglican priest who took his calling with deep seriousness, he brought to his work a religious reverence richly allied with a playful wit and with literary and musical gifts of the highest order. His best-loved poems, from "The Collar" and "Jordan" to "The Altar" and "Easter Wings," achieve a perfection of form and feeling, a rare luminosity, and a timeless metaphysical grandeur.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Everyman's Library POCKET POETSRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
