Tamara’s entry resinated with me. Gerald Manley Hopkins’s poems have sort of snuck into my consciousness also.
“However, I believe that this is the first time that I have truly reflected on the words of the poem and the beauty that they are able to convey. Sounds contrived perhaps, but as I read over the first two lines I can feel the words flowing through me, just as they describe the breeze and light that flows through the cages created by the branches” Tamara
His poems do seem to flow through you like a breeze. ‘Binsey Poplars’p1519 has some lovely imagery but it is the way that Hopkins organises the words to be so musical that I like. I'm still researching 'sandelled'.
