“God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins and “The World Is Too Much With Us” by William Wordsworth concur on the concept of nature versus the way society tends to treat it; however, they express it in different ways through tone and figurative language, such as metaphors and allusions. Gerard Manley Hopkins seems to have an abstract outlook on the concept of nature, taking it as a whole into great consideration and includes his personal religious beliefs within “God’s Grandeur” such as how the

With every end, there is a beginning. When the cold winter ends, there is a new beginning in nature where the trees and flowers start fresh as they grow once again. The poem “Spring”, takes us, readers, to a setting where the place shows complete nature. We are to imagine aesthetic scenery where spring has arrived and everything that happens during this season is happening right in front of us. The speaker seems to appreciate nature so much that he sees the complete difference between the seasons

Gerard Manley Hopkins had eight siblings and was born of Manley and Catherine Smith Hopkins. His parents were Anglicans that followed the Catholic tradition in sacraments and papacy. By instilling the theological values, faith and morals into Gerard, he became heavily influenced by his family. His parents taught him, as well as their other children to love God. Gerard guaranteed his mother that he would strengthen his connection with God and familiarize himself with the Scripture, so Gerard began

Gerard Nanley Hopkins’ Poem “God’s Grandeur” Gerard Nanley Hopkins’ poem “God’s Grandeur”, illustrates the relationship connecting man and God. Hopkins uses alliteration and stern tone to compliment the religious content of this morally ambitious poem. The poem’s rhythm and flow seem to capture the same sensation of a church sermon. The diction used by Hopkins seems to indicate a condescending attitude towards society.      The first stanza states that we are “charged with the grandeur of

nature and make them aware of how they had affected the environment. William Wordsworth and Gerard Manley Hopkins were two of the poets during the Nineteenth century who were known for being leading nature poets in British literary history. The poem “The World is Too Much with Us” by William Wordsworth written during the Romantic Era is very similar to the Victorian poem “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. Thus, both poems could be compared as they have similar themes of society and nature. Wordsworth

Nature is explored in a number of different ways in ‘Pied Beauty’, ‘Pike’ and ‘Blackberry Picking’. The poems all focus on different sides to nature. All three poems focus on the beauty of nature but “Pike” and “Blackberry Picking” on a more negative side to nature. Nature is praised in each of the three poems but all have very different meanings and perspectives on nature. Hopkins Poem ‘Pied Beauty’ explores nature 's beauty. It’s described as the perfect place. The poem begins with “Glory be to

Britannica mention, “puritans also believed in Satan and believed that nature was his playground” (302). They had many firm rules to steer clear of him. People often wonder how things in nature can be so beautiful and innocent. Robert Frost and Gerard Manley Hopkins describe nature and the creation of it in their poems “Design” and “Pied Beauty”. They both express similarities and differences in nature between their two poems. Imagery is a very vital aspect in most all poems. In “Design” and “Pied Beauty”

Conflict among contexts of the Victorian era, Catholicism and Gerard Manley Hopkins, has shaped Hopkins’ distinctive poetic exploration of religious faith in his poems. However, paradoxically he also challenges the role religion has played in making Victorians repress their natural desires, which compels them to doubt God’s ability. These are clearly evidenced in two of his famous Petrarchan sonnets, the nature poem, ‘God’s Grandeur’ (1877), and the ‘terrible sonnet’, ‘Carrion Comfort’ (1885-1887)

Language can mean a number of things in regards to literature, it can refer to the slang that is used, the way that the author phrased a sentence, or even the dialect that the work is written in. Authors like Robert Burns, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and W.H. Auden in particular make use of language in the first two ways mentioned as a way of reflecting their respective time periods. Robert Burn’s A Red, Red Rose is a poem that makes perfect use of language in order to display the thoughts

Devices I will be discussing the ways in which the poets use animals symbolically by using poetic devices. The three poems that I have chosen are “The Tyger” by William Blake, “The Eagle” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Lastly, Pied Beauty by Gerard Manley Hopkins. Alfred Lord Tennyson has used an image of an eagle to give the reader an image of a man standing on a cliff top waiting for his world to fall around him. He is in a desolate area; there is no society near him “ringed with the azure world
