"i am a silver shock dim light mover with an echo yes, a pool of dream-quick come hither to my side sweet souls i am eager to give"
The above passage reminds me of how Gerard Manley Hopkins writes. To appreciate Hopkins, you must read him out loud.
Years ago I read a critical analysis (I don't like that word "analysis"--it reminds me of the saying: "before you can study a frog, you have to kill it first.") of Gerard Manley Hopkins' work--it was book-length. The writer of this book said that Hopkins' poem "The Wreck of the Deutschland" is the most complete poem in the English language. Wow.
Isaak Walton wrote a book "The Compleat Angler." Someone should write a book "The Compleat Hitchhiker." I might read it. (I think I am getting off base here)
I love this poem. You are a gift from God.
We who abide in Christ are called to be broken bread and poured-out wine for those who hunger and thirst for God.
I do abide in Christ. I love Christ so much. Christ is the Way, the Light, all of these things, that is why God brought me to Him.
However, I also believe that there have been others, and that God has provided for all of his peoples, especially before global communication. God wouldn't abandon any of his creations.
I will add Gerard Hopkins to my reading list. I have a book on the shelf by George Elliot. Have you ever read him? I accidentally picked him up thinking it was T. S. Eliot, and now I'm not so certain if I want to read him....
