For another Hopkins addict, you should go to my friend Meredith's blog at http://basiame.blogspot.com. If possible, she's even crazier about Hopkins than I am. (In fact, she nearly got in a duel with our Latin professor over him.) He really is amazing: he makes the English language do all sorts of new and beautiful things.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853868724554947854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257594.post-1136557700955720952006-01-06T09:28:00.000-05:002006-01-06T09:28:00.000-05:00Oops, I meant to say "Sonnets From the Portuguese....Oops, I meant to say "Sonnets <I>From</I> the Portuguese."

Chesterton, and especially Gerard Manley Hopkins, who is probably my all time favorite poet. <BR/><BR/>I found your site by doing a blog search for "Sonnets of the Portuguese," btw. <BR/><BR/>LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840776602443553225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257594.post-1136501473341157532006-01-05T17:51:00.000-05:002006-01-05T17:51:00.000-05:00I love Spanish poetry and all -- the Spanish langu...I love Spanish poetry and all -- the Spanish language lends itself to being overdone, but in a nice way, if you know what I mean, and it can be extremely beautiful. But <I>better</I>? I'll never grant you that. Most of the stuff on this blog is English, and I'll defend poets like Hopkins and the Brownings and Tennyson and Chesterton over just about any other poets in the world.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it has to be your first language to appreciate it fully -- for Spanish poetry as well as English.<BR/><BR/>More fun? I may grant you that. Most Americans would consider the Latin American concept of "fun" too chaotic, but there's no doubt y'all enjoy it.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853868724554947854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257594.post-1136436145076611692006-01-04T23:42:00.000-05:002006-01-04T23:42:00.000-05:00Not power, LOVE.
