What Is Herbert's Concept Of Hieroglyphs

The main aim and notion of this paper is to define Herbert’s, a man of fantastic and outstanding idea, masterly use of hieroglyphs in his different notable and significant as well as outstanding works and to explicate the very importance of their inherently thematic views keeping in mind the notion of hieroglyphs from the trust sense of this term. His main aim, as it is elucidated in this paper, is to, by no means, clarify a new pattern of poem but rather to define and open out a new “emblematic poetry” that will incorporate the basis psychology and overall view of the poet. Herbert very succinctly lighted the hieroglyphs in his few poems, made them effective and touch-stone to examine the values of poetic soul, and signifying the meaning

This term was very much popular in the seventeenth century and was obtained from Greek for ‘sacred carving’ , defining some strong impact on religion and religious matter. The term was commonly used and practised by all the poets of that time. They in fact, used hieroglyphs during their discussion and writing of their poetry.

Herbert’s uses of hieroglyphs often determine his clear concepts of Bible and Christianity, and also, sometimes, manifest the deep notion of body and soul relationship. The treatment that has been extensively taken for maintaining the hieroglyphs is noteworthy and stupendous too to have a deep impact on Herbert’s creative and imaginative faculty that has imbibed the whole art of hieroglyphs, for some instance, in a different way. The massive interest in hieroglyphs no doubt helps Herbert to demonstrate the emblematic quality of his imageries. Joseph S. Summer has rightly mentioned that the use of hieroglyphs is the central and primary concern of Herbert’s creative impulse with its gradual progression of tremendous milieu of poetry. Actually the pattern poems are the exposition of Herbert’s “hieroglyphic disposition”. Summers in this regard, made a difference in between the pattern poetry and other poetry, which seemingly indicated that the very importance of pattern poetry to Herbert. The exact nature and pattern of his poetry can be traced by hieroglyphic spirits which governed the many contemporaries of his time. Herbert’s use of strong but inherent hieroglyphs differentiates some psychology than that of others,
