"I caught this morning morning's minion, king-
dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy!"
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889), British poet. The Windhover (l. 1-5). . .

"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 (1844-1889), British poet, Jesuit priest. Thou art indeed just, Lord (written 1889), published in Poems (1918). |
"Sweet fire the sire of muse, my soul needs this;
I want the one rapture of an inspiration.
O then if in my lagging lines you miss"
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889), British poet. To R. B. (l. 9-11). . .
