Our Lord Jesus Christ , my brethren, is our hero, a hero all the world wants.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
Ask of Her, the mighty Mother. Her reply puts this other Question: What is Spring?- Growth in every thing - Flesh and fleece, fur and feather, Grass and green world all together, Star-eyed strawberry breasted Throstle above Her nested Cluster of bugle blue eggs thin Forms and warms the life within, And bird and blossom swell In sod or sheath or shell.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
-
Any day, any minute we bless God for our being or for anything, for food, for sunlight, we do and are what we were meant for, madefor--things that give and mean to give God glory.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
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.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
Your personal boundaries protect the inner core of your identity and your right to choices.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
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.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
Horrible to say, in a manner I am a Communist.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
Even with one companion ecstasy is almost banished.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
-
All the world is full of inscape and chance left free to act falls into an order as well as purpose.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
Searching nature I taste self but at one tankard, that of my own being.
Gerard Manley Hopkins -
Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty's self and beauty's giver.
