critically appreciate gods
Answers
Explanation:-
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
In the poem, God’s Grandeur by Gerard Manley Hopkins, the poet says that the world is filled to the brim with God’s glory and splendour. God’s glory manifests itself in two ways. At times, it flames out with sudden brilliance, as when a silver foil is shaken and it gives out glints of light. At other times, this glory becomes apparent over a period of time, as when the oil crushed from olives slowly oozes out and gathers into a thick pool. It is this second way which here arrests the poet’s attention. It is noteworthy in connection with God’s grandeur, which is the subject of this sonnet, that Hopkins had made a special and exhaustive study of St. Ignatius Loyola’s book, The Spiritual Exercises, in which occurs the following passage:
See God living in his creatures, in matter, giving it existence; in plants, giving them life; in animals, giving them consciousness; in men, giving them intelligence.
Think of God energizing, as though. He were actually at work, in every created reality, in the sky, in matter, plants and fruits, herds and the like; it is He who creates them and keeps them in being, He who confers life or consciousness, and so on.
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
Through these lines, the poet asks why people no longer heed God’s rod or recognizes the just punishment of God. The divine rod both smites the sinner and heals him. The reason, for people’s heedlessness is that they have become fatalistic towards their misfortunes. People’s senses have grown dull both to pain and to its cause. Life has become a monotonous and weary routine for them.
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
