Frasi di Edward Herbert

Edward Herbert of Cherbury è stato un filosofo e poeta inglese.

Fratello di George, affermò la necessità di una religione su basi razionali che superasse le particolarità delle singole confessioni: De veritate , De religione laici .

Scrisse poesie religiose che risentono di John Donne, ma hanno un tono più pacato e riflessivo, e liriche d'amore più convenzionalmente barocche .

Inoltre, è noto in quanto la sua opera "De veritate" è citata dal filosofo inglese John Locke nel suo An Essay Concerning Human Understanding , in relazione ai cosiddetti "principi innati". Wikipedia

To which sense yields a weak and glimmering light,
While wandering Man thinks he discerneth all
By that which makes him but mistake and fall.”

Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury

Origine: The Autobiography, P. 39

“There [is] no little vigour and force added to words, when they are delivered in a neat and fine way, and somewhat out of the ordinary road, common and dull language relishing more of the clown than the gentleman. But herein also affectation must be avoided; it being better for a man by a native and clear eloquence to express himself, than by those words which may smell either of the lamp or inkhorn.”

Much less your fairest mind invade:
Were not our souls immortal made
Our equal loves can make them such.”
