Gerard Manley Hopkins
28 July 1844 – 8 June 1889 / Stratford, Essex
Love Preparing To Fly
LIKE THIS POEM
He play'd his wings as tho' for flight;
They webb'd the sky with glassy light.
His body sway'd upon tiptoes,
Like a wind-perplexed rose;
In eddies of the wind he went
At last up the blue element.
