Gerard Manley Hopkins
Hopkins was Jesuit Priest. Hopkins tried to publish his works one time and was turned down after that he never tried to publish again. I was particularly fond of the poem Pied Beauty. This poem is about the beauty that God provides in all things.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled(who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour, adazzle, dim
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him
No matter what God creates it is beautiful. God sees the beauty in everything, that is why he created it. All of God's creations are beautiful. I like this poem becuase it is true, sometimes I feel that people need to take the time to realize the beauty in everything.

I too enjoyed this poem. It just goes to show us again that there in beauty in everything and it's nice to have a reminder of that once in a while.
