DENIS by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS

Poet Analysis

First Line: DENIS, WHOSE MOTIONABLE, ALERT, MOST VAULTING WIT
Last Line: . . . . . . . .

DENIS, whose motionable, alert, most vaulting wit
Caps occasion with an intellectual fit.
Yet Arthur is a Bowman: his three-heeled timber 'll hit
The bald and bold blinking gold when all 's done
Right rooting in the bare butt's wincing navel in the sight of the
sun.
. . . . . . . .
