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
As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame

I do not write for the public. You are my public and I hope to convert you.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Any day, any minute we bless God for our being or for anything, for food, for sunlight, we do and are what we were meant for, madefor--things that give and mean to give God glory.

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.

Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty's self and beauty's giver.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
What I do is me, for that I came.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
The effect of studying masterpieces is to make me admire and do otherwise.
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
Summer ends now now, barbarous in beauty, the Stooks arise Around up above, what wind-walks! what lovely behavior Of silk-sack clouds! Has wilder, willful-waiver Meal-drift molded ever and melted across skies?
Gerard Manley Hopkins
That piecemeal peace is poor peace. What pure peace allows Alarms of wars, the daunting wars, the death of it?
Gerard Manley Hopkins
I awoke in the Midsummer not-to-call night, in the white and the walk of the morning
