It remains one of the most incredible things in English poetry. And - wonderfully read.

Thank you so much for noble, eloquent recitation of "The Wreck of the Deutschland" by Gerard M. Hopkins, S.J., who inspired Flannery O'Connor and Robert Stone, and especially among great poets such as T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden. I followed the reading with the Poetry Foundation's text of the "Deutschland": www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44403/the-wreck-of-the-deutschland www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44403/the-wreck-of-the-deutschland Hopkins poetry needs to be relished, read, re-read. A good commentary with much poetry and contemporary letters are in "The Gospel in Gerard Manley Hopkins" (Edited by Margaret R. Ellsberg, Plough Publishing House, Walden NY, 2017).

I yes in the deep spirit of a saint. He's better than the saints he played but would not have it said being a humble man and yet the saints do agree with me and heap praise upon him now in the waiting of his crown, having made good show of them.
