Question

Discuss Herberts 'The pulley as a Metaphysical Poem

Answer 1

The term 'metaphysical' simply means beyond the physical; and metaphysical poems treat subjects or give answers to questions that are beyond the physical. Metaphysical poetry flourished in England in the 17th century - a period characterized with religious activities. Due to the fact that society influences literature, poets who wrote during that period were not only secular but also religious as most of their works allude to some biblical stories. With John Donne being the originator of metaphysical poetry, other metaphysical poets include: Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Richard Cashaw and Henry Vanghan.

Answer 2

Answer:

'The Pulley' is a short metaphysical poem that employs a conceit or extended metaphor to explore the relationship between God and humankind, within a Christian context. What makes this poem unusual is that the pulley, as per the title, is never mentioned within the poem itself.

In this poem, the fusion of the classical and the Christian add richness and dimension to the poem's guiding metaphysical conceit, which is a pulley that draws man slowly toward God.
