Gerard Manley Hopkins Quotes on God

4 quotes

  1. Thou mastering me God! giver of breath and bread; World's strand, sway of the sea; Lord of living and dead; Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh, And after it almost unmade, what with dread, Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh? Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.

  2. Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to God, beauty's self and beauty's giver.

  3. That night, that year Of now done darkness I wretch lay wrestling with (my God!) my God.

  4. Any day, any minute we bless God for our being or for anything, for food, for sunlight, we do and are what we were meant for, made for-things that give and mean to give God glory.
