Gerard Manley Hopkins Quotes About Joy

Quotes about: Joy

• Nothing is so beautiful as spring- When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing; The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling. What is all this juice and all this joy? A strain of the earth's sweet being in the beginning In Eden garden.-Have, get, before it cloy.

  Gerard Manley Hopkins

  Beautiful, Weed, Sweet

  'Spring' (written 1877)

• What is all this juice and all this joy?
  A strain of the earth's sweet being in the beginning
  In Eden garden.-Have, get, before it cloy,
  Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
  Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
  Most, O maid's child, thy choice and worthy the winning.
