The Windhover Explication Gerard Manley Hopkins, “The Windhover,” has been described as one of the most challenging poems to explicate, so with my limited knowledge I will attempt to do this correctly and disagree with professors who have studied this poem far longer than I have. The breaking of the word “kingdom” between line 1 and 2 is meaningful. The falcon is described as both morning’s minion and king. If the break were after -dom there would have been less exaltation of the falcon, which Hopkins

verse relates to the poems “God’s Grandeur” and “The Windhover” by Gerard Manley Hopkins and “Omnipresence” by Luci Shaw because they all discuss how we see God in nature. Because God has revealed Himself in nature, men have no excuse not to put their faith in Him. For the poets and for me, nature enhances faith because it’s beauty reveals God and His creative work and moves the receptive heart to worship. In “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins, Hopkins proves that nature reveals God, by beginning

When God created humankind and nature, he intended them to be connected to each other. “God’s Grandeur”, a poem written in 1877 by Gerard Manley Hopkins depicts the interconnection between the natural world and humankind. The poem describes the beauty of God’s creation and how humankind tends to dismiss the fact that the world is a beautiful place. Hopkins formats the poem as a fourteen line sonnet where a problem is introduced in the first eight lines and a solution to the problem in the last 6

Gerard Hopkins wrote God's Grandeur in 1877 right around the time he was ordained as a priest. The poem deals with his feelings about God's presence and power in the world. He could not understand how the people inhabiting the earth could refuse or be distracted from God. This confusion was due to the greatness of God's power and overall existence that, to Hopkins, seemed impossible and sinful to ignore. However, as the poem progresses Hopkins expresses hope in the world and God's everlasting presence

Environmental Crisis Exposed in The World Is Too Much With Us and God's Grandeur  In his poem, "The World Is Too Much With Us," William Wordsworth blames modern man of being too self-indulgent.  Likewise, Gerard Manley Hopkins shows how the way we treat nature shows our loss of spirituality in his poem, "God's Grandeur."  We are ruthless by lacking proper appreciation for, being separated from, and abusing nature.   Man lacks proper gratitude for nature.  People often are blind

With every end, there is a beginning. When the cold winter ends, there is a new beginning in nature where the trees and flowers start fresh as they grow once again. The poem “Spring”, takes us, readers, to a setting where the place shows complete nature. We are to imagine aesthetic scenery where spring has arrived and everything that happens during this season is happening right in front of us. The speaker seems to appreciate nature so much that he sees the complete difference between the seasons

Gerard Manley Hopkins had eight siblings and was born of Manley and Catherine Smith Hopkins. His parents were Anglicans that followed the Catholic tradition in sacraments and papacy. By instilling the theological values, faith and morals into Gerard, he became heavily influenced by his family. His parents taught him, as well as their other children to love God. Gerard guaranteed his mother that he would strengthen his connection with God and familiarize himself with the Scripture, so Gerard began

Gerard Nanley Hopkins’ Poem “God’s Grandeur” Gerard Nanley Hopkins’ poem “God’s Grandeur”, illustrates the relationship connecting man and God. Hopkins uses alliteration and stern tone to compliment the religious content of this morally ambitious poem. The poem’s rhythm and flow seem to capture the same sensation of a church sermon. The diction used by Hopkins seems to indicate a condescending attitude towards society.      The first stanza states that we are “charged with the grandeur of

beauty of nature and make them aware of how they had affected the environment. William Wordsworth and Gerard Manley Hopkins were two of the poets during the Nineteenth century who were known for being leading nature poets in British literary history. The poem “The World is Too Much with Us” by William Wordsworth written during the Romantic Era is very similar to the Victorian poem “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. Thus, both poems could be compared as they have similar themes of society and nature
