2. poetry is an act of clarification (begins in a true concrete setting.. to the boundless" 3. poetry should use the tones and idioms of human speech 4. a poem is not didactic, but provides and experience that "begins in delight and ends in wisdom" 5. Use of metaphor- "one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another" "enthusiasm tamed by metaphor" |
|
Hopkins and Ignatian Meditation:
|
1. reflection should pass from imagination to intellect since the soul draws delight and joy from the sensous ("inscape") and orders it by intellect ("instress")
2. Contemplation of creature and creation leads to contemplation of the Creator. God is transcendent and immanent and meditation moves from the revelation of the immanent God to the transcendent God 3. Ignation meditation begins in a place, seeing the actual, a finite spot, which provides insights into the infinite being ("Pied Beauty") 4. Use of "the three powers"-- the memory to recall, the understanding to study, the will to draw forth meaning 5. the goal of meditation is to discover and conform to the image ot God, allying human creation with the Creator |
