My first reading of Hopkins, apart from possible exposure to one or two poems in high school. I heard an echo of Elisabeth Frasier's lyric in more than one place, but did not mark them. Will be curious to see if they recur when reading another time.
My first encounter with Sprung Rhythm, reason enough to revisit this slim volume. Mackenzie from his introduction:
The essence of Sprung Rhythm is, firstly, that the length of a line is gauged by stresses, not syllables; and secondly, that each foot may contain in addition to its stress whatever number of light or medium syllables the artists needs to balance the weight of the stress -- varying from as many as five or six down to none at all. [16-17]
Unsurprising to find Shakespeare used it; more immediately, Dylan does. Its description is more complicated than the sound of it; Hopkins was inspired by common speech to fix the rhythm in his mind, and use it in verse. Common enough in daily experience if tricky to write. I'm not yet confident I can read it correctly, either, though Hopkins took pains to provide stress marks in several poems.

No essays or sermons in this edition, unadorned apart from the frontispiece image of Hopkins, and coloured ink (a fern green used in page numbers and poem titles). ( )
