Gerard Manley Hopkins
Searching nature I taste self but at one tankard, that of my own being.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Beauty is a relation, and the apprehension of it a comparison.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
And for all this, nature is never spent There lives the dearest freshness deep down things And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs— Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
What is all this juice and all this joy?
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Religion, you know, enters very deep in reality it is the deepest impression I have in speaking to people, that they are or that they are not of my religion.
