Manley Hopkins

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

    My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled,
    Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,
    All felled, felled, are all felled;
    Of a fresh and following folded rank
    Not spared, not one
    That dandled a sandalled
    Shadow that swam or sank
    On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank.
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty’s
    self and beauty’s giver.
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    I find myself both as man and as myself something more determined and distinctive, at pitch, more distinctive and higher pitched than anything else I see.
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
