Do you think Herbert is aware of both the distance between the human and the divine and of the golden thread that binds the two? In Herbert's poetry the architecture of the church plays an important role. ( MEG 101 ) ( GEORGE HERBERT )

 Yes, I think Herbert is aware of both the distance between the human and the divine and of the golden thread that binds the two. In his poetry, he frequently portrays the human struggle to approach and connect with the divine, acknowledging the vast difference between the two while also emphasizing the potential for union. The architecture of the church, with its grandeur and beauty, serves as a symbol of the divine presence and an aid in spiritual contemplation. Through the use of religious imagery and symbolism, Herbert conveys his belief in the transformative power of faith and the potential for communion with the divine.
