Description
Read carefully the following: "Sir Patrick Spence" Langston Hughes, "Theme for English B." John Dunne, "Batter My Heart, Three God" Hopkins "Pied Beauty" Keats, "Bright Star".
Explanation & Answer
Pied Beauty
The poem praises God for the beauty in a varied creation. Hopkins isolates a number of instances of this “pied” or dappled beauty in the first stanza. He finds it in two-toned skies as well as on cows, on spotted trout, and on the wings of birds. He also sees variety and unity in the contrasts between all these life-forms, for he sees echoes of plants on fish—“rose-moles upon trout,” echoes of the dying embers of fires in the chestnuts falling from the tree.
