God’s Gr...GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS AND GOD’S GRANDEUR<br /><br />God’s Grandeur is a finely crafted sonnet written in 1877, the year Hopkins was ordained as a Jesuit priest. It explores the relationship between God and the world of nature, how the divine is infused in things and refreshes, despite the efforts of humans to ruin the whole show.<br /><br />With the industrial and commercial revolutions gathering pace in Britain and the West, unprecedented pressures were being placed on the environment. Hopkins, a sensitive and observant poet above all else, expressed his dismay at this free-for-all by writing sonnets of extraordinary texture and depth.<br /><br />God’s Grandeur is a tour de force, tight-knit yet organic in rhythm and internal rhyme. Hopkins was a fastidious and serious poet, working his lines again and again to achieve the desired effect.<br /><br />Link: https://letterpile.com/poetry/Analysis-of-Poem-Gods-Grandeur-by-Gerard-Manley-Hopkins <br /><br />GonzalinhoGonzalinho da Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300912197641837181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608869545069574.post-37675280999081620302017-06-08T17:38:19.633-07:002017-06-08T17:38:19.633-07:00“The Song of Creation” was originally published in...“The Song of Creation” was originally published in Blue Heron Review, Issue 3 (Winter 2015).<br /><br />Photo is in public domain.<br /><br />GonzalinhoGonzalinho da Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300912197641837181noreply@blogger.com
