Thanks for the kind comment! I agree, I find his poetry unlike another. Difficult at times to understand but profoundly beautiful and moving.

I missed this earlier in the month so I’m glad you’ve reshared! This is brilliant. I was unfamiliar with the concepts of instress and inscape but find them absolutely fascinating and incredibly helpful and powerful. Going to be revisiting this more!

Thanks for the kind words, Grace! I know, I can't stop thinking about inscape or instress. Side note: Hopkins lived his later years in Ireland (he died in Dublin), so you're on the poet's stomping grounds!
