More quotes by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Natural heart's ivy, Patience masks Our ruins of wrecked past purpose.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
For myself I make no secret, I look forward with eager desire to seeing the matchless beauty of Christ's body in the heavenly light.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
All things therefore are charged with love, are charged with God and if we knew how to touch them give off sparks and take fire, yield drops and flow, ring and tell of him.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
And the headbonny ash that sits over the burn. What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O Let them be left, wildness and wet: Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Nothing is so beautiful as spring- When weeds in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty's self and beauty's giver.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
To lift up the hands in prayer gives God glory, but a man with a dungfork in his hand, a woman with a slop pail, give Him glory, too. God is so great that all things give Him glory if you mean that they should.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Crystal sincerity hath found no shelter but in a fool's cap.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Searching nature I taste self but at one tankard, that of my own being.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Your personal boundaries protect the inner core of your identity and your right to choices.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
What I do is me, for that I came.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
I do not write for the public. You are my public and I hope to convert you.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
I have desired to go Where springs not fail, To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail And a few lilies blow.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
My own heart let me more have pity on let Me live to my sad self hereafter kind, Charitable not live this tormented mind With this tormented mind tormenting yet.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
I thought how sadly beauty of inscape was unknown and buried away from simple people and yet how near at hand it was if they had eyes to see it and it could be called out everywhere again.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend With thee but, sir, so what I plead is just. Why do sinners' ways prosper? and why must Disappointment all I endeavour end?
Gerard Manley Hopkins
For I think it is the case with genius that it is not when quiescent so very much above mediocrity as the difference between the two might lead us to think, but that it has the power and privilege of rising from that level to a height utterly far from mediocrity: in other words that its greatness is that it can be so great.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Horrible to say, in a manner I am a Communist.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Our Lord Jesus Christ , my brethren, is our hero, a hero all the world wants.
