Gerard Manley Hopkins - Duns Scotus`s OxfordGerard Manley Hopkins - Duns Scotus`s Oxford
Work rating: Low


Towery city and branchy between towers; Cuckoo-echoing, bell-swarmèd, lark charmèd, rook racked, river-rounded; The dapple-eared lily below thee; that country and town did Once encounter in, here coped and poisèd powers;   Thou hast a base and brickish skirt there, sours That neighbour-nature thy grey beauty is grounded Best in; graceless growth, thou hast confounded Rural, rural keeping folk, flocks, and flowers. Yet ah! this air I gather and I release He lived on: these weeds and waters, these walls are what He haunted who of all men most sways my spirits to peace; Of realty the rarest-veinèd unraveller; a not Rivalled insight, be rival Italy or Greece; Who fired France for Mary without spot.
