Reading Poems and Prose | Alexandria
Read Poems and Prose by Gerard Manley Hopkins. Shattering Victorian conventions, Hopkins' radical poems reveal how beauty erupts from brokenness and imperfection - "dappled things" he called them. His revolutionary insight? The flaws and fractures we try to hide are actually what make both nature and humans uniquely magnificent. His celebration of "pied" patterns profoundly challenges our obsession with perfection.
