Closer to Dylan Thomas than Matthew Arnold in his 16creative

violence17 and insistence on the sound of poetry, Gerard

Manley Hopkins was no staid, conventional Victorian. On

entering the Society of Jesus and the age of twenty-four, he

burnt all his poetry and 16resolved to write no more, as not

belonging to my profession, unless by the wish of my

superiors.' The poems, letters, and journal entries selected for

this edition were written in the following twenty years of his life

and published posthumously in 1918. nbsp His verse is

wrought from the creative tensions and paradoxes of a poetpriest

who wanted to evoke the spiritual essence of nature

sensuously, and to communicate this revelation in natural

language and speech-rhythms while using condensed,

innovative diction and all the skills of poetic artifice. Intense,

vital, and individual, his writing is the 16terrible crystal17


through which the soul12the inscape, the nature of

things12may be illuminated.
