Manley Hopkins

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

    Wild air, world-mothering air,
    Nestling me everywhere,
    That each eyelash or hair
    Girdles; goes home betwixt
    The fleeciest, frailest-fixed
    Snowflake; that’s fairly mixed
    With, riddles, and is rife
    In every least thing’s life.
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
    Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.

    Look at the stars! look, look up the skies!
    O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
