Really beneficial. My favorite phrase is, well one of them, is "Love's a man of war."

All sorts of awesome-cool imagery pops into the brain.

As it is rather difficult to find a good reading edition of Herbert's poems nowadays, I was so pleased to find this one. It contains most of "The Temple" sequence, and the author's introduction explains the omissions and tells you some of the ones that are missing. Even with the omissions, it's a lovely book, and the poetry is wonderful, of course, the kind which rewards frequent re-reading and contemplation.

Excellent edition of Herbert's best known work. The physical size of this collection makes it perfect for slipping into your pocket. And if you are like me, it is always nice to have a book at hand. It also looks smart setting on the self along with your other editions of Herbert, Donne, and the rest of the Metaphysical School.
