Gerard Manley Hopkins’s “Spring” and Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Spring” offer contrasting depictions of spring. Hopkins’s “Spring” is a celebration of nature and the spirituality that comes with seasonal rebirth‚ while Millay’s “Spring” is spiteful and defiant towards poetic conventions about spring. These two poems initially seem to oppose one another‚ but Hopkins’s turn in tone and Millay’s repeating form expose deeper similarities between their concepts. Hopkins’s portrayal of the season in “Spring”

Poetry‚ whether written in 1877 or 1922‚ has a brilliant effect of diving into one’s mind and unfolding latent meanings that otherwise remain undiscovered (Browning and Cousin 242-243‚ 331). Coming from two opposite worlds‚ Gerard Hopkins and Robert Frost have both left their imprints on the universal galaxy of poetry. “Pied Beauty” written by Hopkins in the 19th century alongside Frost’s 20th century “Design‚” are two identical yet alien poems that express the concept of religion through the usage

Spring and Fall‚ written by Gerard Manley Hopkins‚ is a simple and graceful poem that has a powerful religious theme. It is about changing seasons and mankind’s mortality. The poem addresses Margaret‚ which is generally assumed to be a young girl. We assume this based on the use of the word Golden grove‚ which can mean a simple‚ dream-like‚ play-world.
