It's quite powerful. A famous snippet:<br /><br />I say that we are wound<br />With mercy round and round<br />As if with air: <br /><br />Hopkins' most discussed poem, "The Wreck of the Deutschland," honors German nuns who drowned as Germany's anti-Catholic Falk Laws had exiled them.<br /><br />Incidentally, on his most recent trip to England, the Pope beatified Cardinal Newman, whose Oxford influence converted Hopkins and a lot of other English intellectuals and aristocrats. I think they have to attribute a couple of miracles to him before he achieves the final step of sainthood.<br /><br />Look, I'm Jewish (and Buddhist and Sufi and Quaker and neo-Pythagorean) and likely will stay that way, but Hopkins just always smacked me in the face with his stuff.<br /><br />Welcome to Planet Vleeptron and who are you where are you what are you?Vleeptron Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01913822255924924435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30829516.post-57897920937153713342011-03-27T08:00:01.073-04:002011-03-27T08:00:01.073-04:00Hallo - just thought I'd say that I enjoyed yo...Hallo - just thought I'd say that I enjoyed your essay, which I came across browsing on Hopkins' poem.
