Manley Hopkins

Famous quotes containing the words manley hopkins, manley and/or hopkins:

    I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    Spirit, spirit of gentleness,
    blow through the wilderness, calling and free,
    Spirit, spirit of restlessness,
    stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.
    —James K. Manley (20th century)

    Margaret, are you grieving
    Over Goldengrove unleaving?
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
