Sojourner Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 One of the best poets ever, who also happened to be a Jesuit priest, is Gerard Manley Hopkins, 1844-1849. Gorgeous stuff -- heartfelt, innovative rhythms, beautiful imagery. Here's an example: God's Grandeur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmotherofpirl Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 my absolute favorite: Pied Beauty GLORY be to God for dappled things, For skies of couple-color as a brinded cow, For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls, finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pieced, fold, fallow and plough, And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange, Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim. He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change; Praise him. Gerald Manley hopkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
