Hopkins took time to learn Old English‚ which became a major influence on his writing. Hopkins held the language in such high regard that in an 1882 letter to Robert Bridges‚ Hopkins opines that Old English is "a vastly superior thing to what we have now".

It is beyond reasonable doubt that this statement recognises Hopkins’ superb use of innovative style in his entire body of poetry. Although undoubtedly present‚ Hopkins’ struggle with fundamental truth lies mostly within his Terrible Sonnets‚ as he struggles with the presence of God

The movie “O Brother‚ Where Art Thou” is remarkably similar to Homer’s “Odyssey” in both plot and character description. Many stories and movies have been based on the same plot as The Odyssey‚ but one movie in particular did a wonderful job in comparing the two stories‚ “O Brother‚ Where Art Thou.” “O Brother‚ Where Art Thou” is about a man who has to break out of jail to stop his wife from marrying another man and includes his voyage home. “The Odyssey” is about the adventures and misfortunes
