immune from this question. Even David wrote in the 13th chapter of Psalms, How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?” (New King James Version, Ps. 13.1). Observing “Peace”, it is evident that Gerard Manley Hopkins is having a short period of questioning. Yet, in “Peace”, Hopkins brings the reader through his theologically ramified dialogue with Peace, which at first characterized by confusion of its work, eventually becomes characterized with comfort

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

they preach that nature was created and is controlled by their God. The belief of divine control is a popular topic in literature; specifically poetry. “Pied Beauty” written by Gerard Manley Hopkins in 1877, and “Design” written by Robert Frost in 1922 are just two examples of many that follow this trend. 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

Gerard Manley Hopkins employs diction, structure, rhyme, imagery and repetition in order to impart upon the reader his message; mankind does not understand or appreciate the grace of God because as a whole they value material things and take for granted every day, however despite this God’s love and guidance continues to manifest day by day in order to provide for his flock. Hopkins employs the use of structure in order to emphasise the message of his poem onto the reader. He uses a style of poem

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

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

There is no doubt many metaphorical meanings that critics can take from the “The Windhover” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. With that in mind, I will focus on finding the correct linguistic interpretation of the poem. In the past, authors of scholarly articles of the poem have seemed to downplay the self-reflective portion of the poem where Hopkins refers to his own “hidden heart.” There has also been much disagreement over the sequence “dapple-dawn-drawn,” and multitudes of debates on the interpretation

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. In “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins, Hopkins proves that nature reveals God, by beginning his

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
