Gerard Manley Hopkins Quotes

«All tr?des, their gear and tackle and trim.»
«That night, that year / Of now done darkness I wretch lay wrestling with (my God!) my God.»
«O then if in my lagging lines you miss / The roll, the rise, the carol, the creation.»
«The fine delight that fathers thought; the strong / Spur, live and lancing like the blowpipe flame, / Breathes once and, quench?d faster than it came, / Leaves yet the mind a mother of immortal song.»
«This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse / Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.»
«And my lament / Is cries countless, cries like dead letters sent / To dearest him that lives alas! away.»
«I see / The lost are like this, and their scourge to be / As I am mine, their sweating selves; but worse.»
«Just for lack / Of answer the eagerer a-wanting Jessy or Jack / There God to aggrandize, God to glorify.»
«Birds build - but not I build; no, but strain,/ Time's eunuch, and not breed one work that wakes. / Mine, O thou lord of life, send my roots rain.»
«I caught this morning morning's minion, kingdom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon.»
