Abstract

Abstract:This article explores George Herbert's engagement with concepts of practical and spiritual charity through close attention to the language of feast, fast, and feeding others in The Temple and The Countrey Parson. Arguing that an intensely bodily conception of compassion works as a vital hinge between the literal and metaphorical understandings of feeding and eating throughout Herbert's writing, the article focuses on a recurring image of the beggar at the door as a potent distillation of Herbert's pastoral and poetic understanding of human charity.

消费同情：乔治·赫伯特的盛宴、快速与慈善

摘要：本文通过对《圣殿》和《帕森斯伯爵》中盛宴、斋戒和喂养他人的语言的密切关注，探讨了乔治·赫伯特对实践和精神慈善概念的参与。文章认为，在赫伯特的写作中，强烈的身体同情概念是对喂养和饮食的字面理解和隐喻理解之间的重要纽带，文章重点关注了一个反复出现的门口乞丐的形象，这是赫伯特对人类慈善的田园诗理解的有力升华。
