The Pulley

The title of the poem ‘The Pulley’ elucidates the central metaphor used in the poem of restlessness being like a pulley. The poem describes how God uses the feeling of restlessness to pull human beings towards himself. A scientific object has been used as the title of a poem elaborating a religious idea. This poem has been written by the Welsh poet and priest ‘George Herbert’. His poems are known for the use of imagery and comparisons between things that are not similar. He used simple language to put forward complex and abstract religious ideologies. The rhyme scheme of each stanza of the poem is ababa.

The comparison of the feeling of restlessness in human beings to that of a pulley is the central idea of the poem. The poet says that God uses anxiety to keep humans under control and to pull them towards him just like a pulley is used to make it easier to pull heavy objects in a direction opposite to gravity. My favourite lines from the poem are, “If goodness lead him not, yet weariness, May toss him to my breast.” Various Figures of Speech have been used by the poet. The entire poem is an extended Metaphor as the feeling of anxiety has been compared to a pulley. The poem also compares rest, beauty, wisdom, honour and pleasure to the riches of this world (jewel). The qualities of strength, beauty, wisdom, honour and pleasure have been personified as if they made their way. In the second last line, the poet personifies ‘goodness’ as someone leading man. It is ironical that a negative emotion ‘restlessness’ lifts us above worldly things towards God and not the good qualities that God has bestowed upon humans. The most striking feature of the poem is the use of a scientific invention of a pulley to explain an abstract religious idea. The poet explains how it is restlessness that keeps us attached to God and not the positive qualities given by God. The poet sketches the image of a pulley tossing man towards God. He also creates the image of God as a scientist making an invention and pouring chemicals (good qualities) into his new creation. The poet compares the various qualities like wisdom, honour, beauty, pleasure and rest to jewels. It is also ironical that the poet feels that God would be possessive about his creation and would be anxious that man would not adore his gifts but would instead be attached to God’s gifts. The tone of the poem is reflective. I like the poem for its unique comparison of restlessness as a pulley used by God to pull man towards him. The idea of God using a machine to keep control over his creation is amusing.
