In "The Collar," a poem by seventeenth-century Anglican minister George Herbert, a priest expresses his frustration with his role as God's servant and threatens to abandon his duties, for he feels his hard work has not brought forth much fruit. The poem proceeds as an internal dialogue between his frustrated Will and his calmer Reason as he tries to decide whether to flee or to stay (Roberts, 1993, p. 199). At the climax of the poem, the speaker thinks he hears the voice of God and responds in faith to this "caller.'
