      ab: This article focuses on the poem "Prayer (I)," by George Herbert. The oddities of George Herbert's poem in structure, syntax, and imagery have exercised most critics who comment on the poem. A very close analogue, perhaps source, exists in Logos 28 of the "Plakes Pneumatikai or Heavenly Ladder," by John Climicus. The remarkable concatenation of prayer's epithets has no syntactical rival in all of John Climicus's work and thus serves as a noticeable rhetorical climax. Climicus's Greek is also somewhat unusual in that it omits most of the normal definite articles for the nouns, an oddity less unusual in English translation.
