Can there be peace without war? Conflict is inevitable; It is part of human nature.
Gentle soundtrack with poem by George Herbert.
"Nestled in the age of Shakespeare and Milton is the literary stalwart George Herbert, poet and Church of England clergyman. Herbert's poetry would influence fellow poets such as Henry Vaughan, Richard Crashaw, Thomas Traherne, and then in later centuries Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, Anthony Hecht, and, perhaps Robert Frost-although these later poets are more abstract in their devotion to Herbert than were his 17th-century followers. Herbert’s poetry, although often formally experimental, is always passionate, searching, and elegant." - Poetry Foundation (www.poetryfoun...)
