Consequently‚ as one of Hopkins ’ final sonnets before his death‚ the poem ["Thou Art Indeed Just "] can be seen as a well-framed window into his soul; the soul of a man who has struggled to follow the path of God throughout his lifetime. Through an in-depth analysis of the imagery and poetic devices at work within this poem‚ perhaps a deeper understanding of the poet‚ Gerard Manley Hopkins‚ can be attained.

He compares him to a cat‚ an insect stuck to the wall
