My personal favorite poem from Hopkins was "Binsey Poplars". I think he describes a non-significant event in a desperate way. He sounds devastated about the felling of the trees even though they probably weren't that big of a deal. Hopkins describes the felling of the trees so beautifully and I really like the way that even he admits that only ten or twelve trees were hewn down but after comers will never know the beauty of what once was.
I commented on Abie Georges.
