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.

“O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne’er hung there. Nor does long our small
Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep,
Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all
Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.”

Journal entry (6 November 1865), as reported in In Extremity: A Study of Gerard Manley Hopkins (1978) by John Robinson, p. 1

“Wild air, world-mothering air,
Nestling me everywhere,
That each eyelash or hair
Girdles; goes home betwixt
The fleeciest, frailest-fixed
Snowflake; that’s fairly mixed
With, riddles, and is rife
In every least thing’s life.”

Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
