Reading The Lives of Donne and Herbert | Alexandria
Read The Lives of Donne and Herbert by Izaak Walton. Bridging heaven and earth, these radical poet-priests revealed how sacred and secular passions intertwine. Donne's erotic verses and Herbert's intimate prayers dismantled false divisions between physical and spiritual love - a perspective we desperately need in today's fractured world. Their most radical claim? True holiness emerges through embracing, not denying, our human desires.
