Gerard Manley Hopkins citations

Gerard Manley Hopkins, né le 28 juillet 1844 à Stratford, dans l'Essex , et décédé le 8 juin 1889 à Dublin, en Irlande, est un prêtre jésuite et poète anglais de grand renom.

Fils d'un agent d'assurance, il étudie les humanités au Balliol College de l'Université d'Oxford, où il est proche du Mouvement d'Oxford de "l’Église haute" anglicane. Comme d'autres avant lui, tel John Henry Newman, cette réflexion théologique l'amène à demander à être reçu dans l'Église catholique en 1866. Deux ans plus tard, le 7 septembre 1868, il entre dans la Compagnie de Jésus. Hopkins est ordonné prêtre en 1877. Wikipedia

“Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.”

" The Wreck of the Deutschland http://www.bartleby.com/122/4.html", lines 1-8
Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918)
Contexte: Thou mastering me
God! giver of breath and bread;
World’s strand, sway of the sea;
Lord of living and dead;
Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh,
And after it almost unmade, what with dread,
Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh?
Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.

“You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing, interest ceases also…”

Letter to Robert Bridges (24 October 1883)
Letters, etc
Contexte: You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing, interest ceases also... But a Catholic by mystery means an incomprehensible certainty: without certainty, without formulation there is no interest;... the clearer the formulation the greater the interest.

When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush”

Contexte: Nothing is so beautiful as Spring—
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.

O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!”

O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!

Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
