Gerard Manley Hopkins Quotes

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.

Let Him easter in us, be a dayspring to the dimness of us, be a crimson-cresseted east.

O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fallFrightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed.

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.

NOT, I’ll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee;Not untwist—slack they may be—these last strands of manIn me ór, most weary, cry I can no more. I can;Can something, hope, wish day come, not choose not to be.
