Pied Beauty, by Gerald Manley Hopkins

An analysis of sorts of the poem.

[@laurasimms7031]

Thank you! I am reading that at a funeral for the former dean of education of a university. She loved that poem and I wanted to do it justice. You did a terrific job explaining it and you gave me a way to engage the many great-nieces and great-nephews (all under age 10) who will be in the church when I read it. They will love the idea of "cowness of the cow" and I thank you for explaining inscape and instress.

You've saved me from flunking my mocks

[@ouldonaunt3262]

it's a poem slated as being an important poem because it deals with tactility

The cow is piece of art my friend

[@NKool11]

"it's the cowness of the cow and the fishness of the fish." I love that.

[@kippytime]

Thank you! I love this poem and enjoyed your explanation of its workings.

[@bredamaune2028]

Brilliantly illuminating. Thank you.

[@kndheart77]

Thanks. Good Hopkins is a godly man not just a human. Be well

[@MrSontaran3]

Thank you for your exposition on this, a favourite poem :-D

[@carolciliberti-noaafederal1780]

Excellent poetic analysis, I'd like to hear more about how Sprung Rhythm works. I know Manley Hopkins used a consistent number of feet per line and I'm kind of struggling to see how that works here.

[@joeroganconnoisseur7364]

With all due respect, the word "brinded" is not a word that Hopkins "made up" as it dates back to the 15th Century and is probably of Old Norse origin (brondottr-brinded); brinded is an earlier form of Brindled; in Middle English its form was "brend" and "brind," and meant by derivation, "burnt." In Hall Crane's book, "The Christian," it can be found: "The brinded cat hath mewed...".

[@jamesdalton3082]

Nick Campbell I salute you sir. Hall Caine is not much read today, and your connection is well made. I remembered reading the word "brinded" in Caine's writing. This was not, as you said, a word "made up" by Hopkins. This teacher doesn't know his material. Poor students!

[@nickandmikec]

Yes, I meant Caine. Thanks for the correction. What can one say but "We murder to dissect." (John Keats).

[@diegoleylandia]

Hall Crane's quotation is from the witches' incantation at the beginning of Shakespeare's Macbeth from 1606

[@penelopemaynard8513]

He's wrong about "brinded", though. It's an old Middle English word, and seems to link with our word "branded" - e.g. with hot irons. Yes, it means streaked or spotted or brindled.

[@griezqian2959]

thanks, it helps a lot

[@nataliemorod9220]

Nice... helpful...

[@rbagdai]

Hi there! can you tell me which software did to use for the annotation? I want to do annotations for my school poems. Please?

[@jamesdalton3082]

This reader left out the epitaph, which Hopkins absolutely would have considered a vital part of the work.

[@Mr_Potatobread]

good luck to anyone else also having an exam in a few hours. English lit is by far one of my weakest subjects and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

[@evansabove111]

Thanks this was in the exam

[@kanjayT3]

brined isnt a coined phrase - it was used by shakespeare in 'The tragedy of Macbeth'

[@Zaete0chan]

HOW IS BRINDED A COINED TERM?! How in god's name did you come to that conclusion? Did you even look it up in the dictionary? Because if you had, you'd realize it's a word of Scandinavian origin closely related to the world brindle. As a teacher, you should be ashamed of yourself for giving out false information so easily. I AM APPALLED

[@shavindadissanayake9590]

dull way of teaching

[@mistharay1]
