Frases de Gerard Manley Hopkins

Gerard Manley Hopkins , um padre jesuíta, foi um dos maiores poetas da literatura inglesa.

A sua primeira grande obra foi o poema "O naufrágio do Deutschland" , ao qual seguiram-se poemas líricos como "O francelho", "A calhandra enjaulada"", "O Oxford de Duns Scotus", e "Henry Purcell". Em 1877 escreveu seus trágicos "Sonetos Obscuros", o primeiro dos quais é "Carrion Comfort" . Sua obra completa foi publicada em 1930.

Os impulsos homoeróticos de Hopkins, dirigidos sobretudo a Digby Mackworth Dolben, um colega de Eton, parecem ter tido uma influência decisiva sobre o tom, qualidade e mesmo com o conteúdo da sua poesia. O autor de uma biografia de Hopkins, Robert Bernard Martin afirma que o encontro com Dolben, por ocasião do 17.º aniversãrio de Hopkins, foi provavelmente o momento mais marcante emocionalmente da vida de Hopkins, sobre o qual escreveu abundantemente nos seus diários e a quem dedicou inúmeros poemas, incluindo muitos de caracter elegíaco, considerados dos melhores de Hopkins, após a morte por afogamento de Dolben em 1867.

Gerard Manley Hopkins: Frases em inglês

“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)
Contexto: 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.”

“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
Contexto: 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)
Contexto: 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.

Contexto: 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!

Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,

Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”
