Summary

Description
English: Upright version of File:GeorgeHerbertEasterWingsPatternPoem1633.jpg, an image of "Easter Wings", a "pattern poem" published in 1633 by George Herbert. As a pattern poem, the work is not only meant to be read, but its shape is meant to be appreciated: In this case, the poem was printed on two pages of a book, sideways, so that the lines suggest two birds flying upward, with wings spread. In this version, the image has been turned 90 degrees to the left, on its side, so that the poem may be easily read on a computer. In the original, the right side is on the bottom.
Date published 1633
Source The Noroton Anthology of Poetry, 4th edition, edited by Margaret Ferguson, et al., p 331, New York: W.W. Norton & Company (1996)
Author George Herbert (1593-1633)
