Ohh
Answer:
Hopkins accomplishes things that a poet who is less talented or gifted and the adjective genius seems appropriate when describing a poet like Hopkins would have rendered crudely or awkwardly.
Explanation:
Hopkins claims that everything is imbued with the majesty and greatness of God, a viewpoint that is closely related to that of the Romantic poets and their pantheistic belief that every rock, plant, tree, lake, and flower is infused with divine power.
Hopkins, however, differs from the Romantics in that he employs imagery that we might not typically expect to see in a poem praising God's presence in nature:
"The grandeur of God will flame out," or flare out, in jolts of light and energy, "like shining from shook foil" — that is, the way that thin sheet metal shines when it is shaken.
Although "foil" also gleams with its auxiliary definition, especially a thin metal sword used in fencing, Gerard Manley Hopkins catches the light.
