Another fascinating poem by Hopkins using heavy alliteration which, here, is more prominent than the "sprung rhythm". I can't remember who said it, but someone in discussing the use of alliteration in English poetry called it "consonantal rhyme". Rhymed words are very difficult in English as any poet worth their salt will understand. Enough of the greats have achieved success there that it's worth writing it, but in Italian (for example), the number of rhyming words is manifold thanks to the number of words ending in vowels (vowelistic rhyme, if you will) which English simply doesn't have. With the later and more literary-focused poems of the Alliterative Revival in the 14th century, alliteration has the effect of quickening the lines where end rhymes make you pause. #gerardmanleyhopkins #hopkins #hopkinspoetry #poetry #poet #poem #poems #poets #englishpoets #catholicpoet #alliterative #alliteration #thecandleindoors #literature #englishliterature #sprungrhythm (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxfRNa2ALyt/?igshid=14g6dytz798np
