Gerard Manley Hopkins Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: July 28, 1844 - June 8, 1889
Birthday: July 28
Death: June 8
Spring and Fall: To a Young Child Márgarét, are you grÃeving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leáves, lÃke the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! ás the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; And yet you wÃll weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name: Sórrow's sprÃngs áre the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It Ãs the blight man was born for, It is Margaret you mourn for.
