Hopkins and inscape


“All Life death does end and each day dies with sleep”
“Nothing is so beautiful as spring -- when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.”
i was surprised to find that when i typed in Hopkins and inscape there is a whole website that related to it. for some reason i thought this was going to take longer and i wasnt gong to be able to find what sexson had wanted us to! but on the website it states ' By "inscape" he means the unified complex of characteristics that give each thing its uniqueness and that differentiate it from other things'
i feel that hopkins has it right.... characteristics are extremly complex but the uniqueness in the complexities is where there is something new to learn and something new to see. i think back to all the people that i have been honored to meet through the years here at msu and i realize yet again that the only people that i have every really been able to connect to on a certain level are English majors..... and i dont think it is that we are all the same i think that there are so many people that are in the program.... in our class! that are all so complex and so different. it is exciting to talk to people like that rather than ones that have nothing interresting to say or nothing that moves me...
