Ineed with some questions from the poem "the pilgrimage" by george herbert! ask if you'd like the poem to be posted. what swarming fears stung him at the top of the hill in the brackish water? why is the journey called a "pilgrimage"? herbert's poem is allegorical; that is, it uses an extended metaphor in which life is compared to a journey. abstract concepts such as pride, desperation, and passion are described in terms of the landmarks and natural barriers one would encounter on a journey. using the drag-and-drop function click on each word and move it to its proper location on the map, based on herbert's poem.
