Gerard Manley Hopkins idézet

Gerard Manley Hopkins angol költő és jezsuita pap volt, akit a 20. században ismertek el igazán, mint a viktoriánus Anglia egyik legfontosabb költőjét. Bár még a 19. században élt, már modernistának is tekinthető: a versmértékkel való bátor kísérletezése és vibráló képhasználata miatt eredetinek és formabontónak számít a kor főleg hagyományos verselői között.

Gerard Manley Hopkins: Idézetek angolul

“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)
Kontextus: 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.

“Abel is Cain's brother and breasts they have sucked the same.”

Trenched with tears, carved with cares,

“I always knew in my heart Walt Whitman’s mind to be more like my own than any other man’s living.”

Letter to Robert Bridges (18 October 1882)
Letters, etc
Kontextus: I always knew in my heart Walt Whitman’s mind to be more like my own than any other man’s living. As he is a very great scoundrel this is not a pleasant confession.

For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim.”

Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918)

“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
Kontextus: 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.

“Nothing is so beautiful as Spring—
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush”

" Spring http://www.bartleby.com/122/9.html", stanza 1
Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918)
Kontextus: 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.

“Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!”

" The Starlight Night http://www.bartleby.com/122/8.html" (1877), lines 1-3
Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918)
Kontextus: Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!

“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.”

" Inversnaid http://www.bartleby.com/122/33.html, lines 13-16
Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918)
