Gerard Manley Hopkins Essay

The Windhover, by Gerard Manley Hopkins is a poem or so the essence of natural issues. This poem describes the family relationship of gentlemans gentleman beings to the natural initiation as the poet is addressing God through the chick. It is praising him for all the marvellous things He has created and that humans can enjoy. The poem consists in three verses. In the first verse, the poet describes the power of the darn as it is portrayed as the master of heavens. This verse captures the movement of the bird in the sky.It starts with I caught this morning mornings minion that gives the touch that the bird is a servant of the sky and it is the morning because it is a good time for hunting. Hopkins puts words together like dapple dawn-drawn to portray multi-images as here(predicate) where the bird is drawn in the sky. Also, the alliteration here produces the effect of the birds movement in the air and the intensity of the poems whole step. The former writes that the bird i s striding high there and this produces the image that the bird is taking huge steps in the air.The bird also rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing showing his power and control with ecstasy. The bird has control over the wind. The rhythm in this verse is very(prenominal) slow, yet steady. This verse consists in very long sentences that convey the effect that the bird is circling the air with long movements it also reflects the poets feelings. This verse gives as the feeling that he poet has searched very well the words to describe his feelings but at the same time describing the bird. He searches for words that sound as they are written for example sweeps smooth.The second verse consists solely of three lines explaining how the bird spots its pray and here, the mantrap of the bird is more accentuated when the author uses Brute beauty to describe how beautiful the bird is, even when it is hunting. The word brute has an impact on the readers because this word style violent, wild, but here, the author uses it to emphasize that the beauty is a different kind of beauty that it is a kinglike beauty, so marvellous and magnificent that there is no better word to describe it than brute.The poem reaches to the finish when the bird spots the pray and the author writes here buckle as if warning us for action. To be prepared. From now on, the rhythm is more steady with lots of comas and faster than the first verse. This gives us the effect that the bird is now descending towards its pray. At the end of this verse, the author addresses to God as Oh my chevalier and this is to thank Him for creating much(prenominal) marvellous things as the bird, full of Brute beauty so that humans can enjoy, even though it is only by watching them.When the author addresses to God, the rhythm changes. This matches the ecstasy of the bird in his own personal mastery of the sky. The last verse consists also in three lines, and here, the relationship of human beings to the natural wor ld is also portrayed. This verse is more as a pronouncement. Here the author stops speaking astir(predicate) the bird and makes us realise how Gods beauty of creation is in everything, even in things where there is no apparent beauty. This is achieved also when Hopkins starts talking about how the shi er plid makes even plough beautiful and how blue-bleak embers are also beautiful. In conclusion, I think that Hopkins decides to first start talking about the Windhover and about its Brute beauty to then compare it to the beauty found in every thing of creation. He relates human being to the beauty of nature because the beauty found in nature comes from humans sacrifice. The words on Hopkins poem impact me because they make me realise how lucky we are to be part of creation and enjoy the beauty there is from Christs sacrifice.
