#GerardManleyHopkins, "The Blessed Virgin Compared to the Air We Breathe":
I say that we are wound
With mercy round & round
As if with air: the same
Is Mary, more by name.
She, wild web, wondrous robe,
Mantles the guilty globe,
Since God has let dispense
Her prayers his providence...

"For him, the glory of God was not in vague abstractions, but in each unique particular, especially when they did not fit neat categories"
📚 Richard Harries reads daily reflections on poems by #GerardManleyHopkins
#Lentbooks #books #bookreviews #poetry
Glory be to God for dappled things – For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings; Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough; And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.
Picture of a 'pied' landscape - a blue river running through a brown, blue and pink landscape, with dark blue trees in the background and a cloudy sky of dark and light blue and white clouds.

Black-and-white relief print by Kreg Yingst, featuring a poetic excerpt from Gerard Manley Hopkins’ “Pied Beauty.” The text celebrates the divine beauty of “dappled things” with vivid imagery: skies of couple-color like a brindled cow, rose-moles on trout, fresh-firecoal chestnut falls, finches’ wings, and patchwork landscapes. Surrounding the text are hand-carved illustrations—a fish, a tree, and abstract organic patterns—arranged in a rhythmic, visually expressive layout.

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.

Good morning!

The poem Pied Beauty by Gerard Manley Hopkins
A poem written by a man very much in love. The freckles we're still told are imperfections to be avoided or erased with peels and lasers, he found exquisitely beautiful. #GerardManleyHopkins #DappledThings
