Hello Ralph. Thank you for your intimately revealing seminar on The Wind Hover. As you were defining aspects of Hopkins's language my own research was echoing in my mind: "Yes that's right! Or, "I got that right." Even, 'Dictionaries and Google are invaluable allies for anyone that's acquiring deeper literary skill' My biggest internal cheer was when you explained the idea of Hopkins's "scillion shine," You however drew out the concept that simple plodding along can reveal instructive ideas to the perceptive mind While not as refined as your own skills, I am reassured that my self learning is progressing in the right direction. You're Blessed 🙏. Thank you from U.K😊❤📚🖤😊.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for this great analysis. We live just a few miles from Tennyson's House Farringford on the Isle of Wight, UK.

How are secrets and silences important and central in this story?

Thank you, professor Stevens! This is very helpful for my purposive communication class.

Randomly stumbled upon this in my recommended. What a lovely interpretation, thank you professor even if I wasn’t your student.

Good

All respect from Tunisia

Could you please explain at least one of these stories, because I have final exam soon about them. And you are the only one in youtube can make me understand literature: "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning "The Lady of Shalott" by Tennyson The first chapter in Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka And thanks alot for providing us with this informations and great knowledge that you have in literature. Also, thanks in advance if you decided to explain in a video one of these stories, I will appreciate that. But at the same time, you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. I love you thanks.

I would love to see this restored. Thank you.

Nothing about poetry is more true than your first comment: poetry is meant to be heard! People aren't meant to just look at sheet music. The original creator's intent is that it be performed! I hope that the subsequent discussion went well!

My first time seeing your video. Very educative. I hope to see more from you.

Very helpful. Thank you.

One thing called my attention in this story, which is the fact that the music master is a foreigner, therefore someone not to be trusted. In Victorian era that was a common theme, wasn't it? The foreigner is seen as a menace to the English society...

i think that the geography aspect of the book makes unnecessary the last part, the explanation given by melville. i think the book was following thoreau's ideal of opposition to the system of the society we live in. i imagine Bartelby as the christ figure you discribed, simply and calmely denning the all interaction in life and thus, inspiring the reader to fight back passively against society's inevitabillity, that inevitability being the actions and interactions that ultimatly is expected of society's behaviour.

Thank you for the overview! Im reading this story for my class but often I struggle to understand what im reading.

Thank you so much Dr. Stevens!

Sir can you explain in a Word the last three line

This video helped me a lot. Thank you!

This is very emotional and heart' touching sharing.

Inspiring. Thank you! I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Jack Nicholson went fishing in the film (movie), 'The Pledge'. "Fishing" as metaphor for "Grail Quest"? Or, 'fishing" as a way of talking about literary art? You have inspired me to read this work again! :)

I learned a great deal from this, many thanks. It's lovely to identify a tree, but also in what neck of the woods it was found!

You are a superb teacher, so glad I bumped into this! Loved the poem and loved your explication. It all made me think of two words - "tentative majesty"! :)

I'm student at leading University English department

Thank you so much for the explanation

I appreciate it the time you've taken with this old tale. I've only just encountered the Krispin Glover film, I thought quite excellent, and the storyline quite profound. I see it as the world we are forced to labor in, be a part of, and really we'd just "prefer not to."

Thanks. Good comment. The image at the end is of coals (embers) in a fire, the way they break open when they fall - the gash sheds red/gold light. Hopkins is using this, as well as the shine of earth after it's plowed, and, of course, the flight of the falcon, as metaphors for the death and resurrection of Christ.
