Gerard Manley Hopkins

Hopkins poem's were a little hard to comprehend. In reading about his concept of inscape, I still was not able to understand. Sound like Hopkins was very eccentric. In the poem Spring and Fall- to a yound child pg. 776, there wasn't much to understand. Was this suppose to be about the five nuns who drowned in his work, The Wreck of the Deutshland?

Gloria,

I realize that Hopkins is a difficult poet to read and understand, but if you don't have much to say about him then I would prefer you to select another author with whom you have more of an affinity.
