The Windhover Explication Gerard Manley Hopkins, “The Windhover,” has been described as one of the most challenging poems to explicate, so with my limited knowledge I will attempt to do this correctly and disagree with professors who have studied this poem far longer than I have. The breaking of the word “kingdom” between line 1 and 2 is meaningful. The falcon is described as both morning’s minion and king. If the break were after -dom there would have been less exaltation of the falcon, which Hopkins

relates to the poems “God’s Grandeur” and “The Windhover” by Gerard Manley Hopkins and “Omnipresence” by Luci Shaw because they all discuss how we see God in nature. Because God has revealed Himself in nature, men have no excuse not to put their faith in Him. For the poets and for me, nature enhances faith because it’s beauty reveals God and His creative work and moves the receptive heart to worship.

When God created humankind and nature, he intended them to be connected to each other. “God’s Grandeur”, a poem written in 1877 by Gerard Manley Hopkins depicts the interconnection between the natural world and humankind. The poem describes the beauty of God’s creation and how humankind tends to dismiss the fact that the world is a beautiful place. Hopkins formats the poem as a fourteen line sonnet where a problem is introduced in the first eight lines and a solution to the problem in the last 6

Gerard Hopkins wrote God's Grandeur in 1877 right around the time he was ordained as a priest. The poem deals with his feelings about God's presence and power in the world. He could not understand how the people inhabiting the earth could refuse or be distracted from God. This confusion was due to the greatness of God's power and overall existence that, to Hopkins, seemed impossible and sinful to ignore. However, as the poem progresses Hopkins expresses hope in the world and God's everlasting presence

Environmental Crisis Exposed in The World Is Too Much With Us and God's Grandeur  In his poem, "The World Is Too Much With Us," William Wordsworth blames modern man of being too self-indulgent.  Likewise, Gerard Manley Hopkins shows how the way we treat nature shows our loss of spirituality in his poem, "God's Grandeur."  We are ruthless by lacking proper appreciation for, being separated from, and abusing nature.   Man lacks proper gratitude for nature.  People often are blind

Gerard Manley Hopkins was a 19th century, English, Victorian poet. He was brought up in a religious and artistic family, leading to his becoming a poet and Jesuit priest (Reid). Alternatively, Robert

Depression in Hopkins' Sonnets of Desolation        Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) was, first and foremost, a man of the cloth. He seems to have set his gifts in musical composition, drawing, and poetry at a distant second to his ecclesiastical duties for most of his life, causing him to experience terrible bouts of depression. Hopkins poured out this depression in what are known as the Sonnets of Desolation, including "I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day," "Not, I'll carrion comfort

Openly criticizing prayer in writing or verse is not a common phenomenon. George Herbert and Gerard Manley Hopkins took the matter into their own hands and broke from the crowd.
