“GOD’S GRANDEUR” Gerard Manley Hopkins
Gerard Manley Hopkins “ What I do is me , for that I came “
His work : Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø "Barnfloor and Winepress" "The Bugler's First Communion" "Carrion Comfort" "The Loss of the Eurydice" "New Readings" “O seem the stranger lies my lot” "Pied Beauty" "Rosa Mystica " "A Soliloquy of one of the Spies left in the Wilderness" Ø "Spring and Fall"
The world is charged with the grandeur of God ₁ It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod; ₅ And all is seared with trade; Bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; ₁₀ And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

These lines are taken from “ God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. It was written in England, in 1877 of 19 th century , Victorian era. Hopkins is famous for his innovation language and rhythm, especially a kind of rhythm he called it “sprung rhythm”. This poem represents the Victorian era in many ways. First, there is individualism, for example, “The world is charged with the grandeur of God” (1). Second, there is employed of super natural, for example, “ It will flame …. /It gathers to a …. /…. not reck his rod? ” (2 -4). Third, there is materialism, for example, “Generations have trod…/And all is seared …. /…. smell: the soil” (5 -7). Forth, there is a sence of hope, for example, “And for all this…/…down things/…black West went/…brink eastward, springs /…. over the bent/ …. bright wings” (9 -14). This poem is interesting, because it was filled with images, similes, inscape and sprung rhythm to convey a message of hope.
God’s Grandeur The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod; have trod, have trod And all is seared with trade; Bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs — Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
