Herbert

The only thoughts in my mind while reading Herbert were "you'll be done reading it soon." Though Redemption is pretty entertaining and bearable, the rest of his poems are boring and in my opinion, redundant. He repeats many of his ideas and messages in many of his poems, making them unoriginal to a certain extent. He throws his religion at the reader, limiting the definition of a good religious follower, since he deems that there are so many ways to be a poor follower. Also, his writing is boring, in my finding. His tone is usually pompous and arrogant, as if trying to guide people into HIS way.
