This essay reads Gerard Manley Hopkins's poetry for its “ecological perception”: a perceptual modality involving the dynamic interaction between human bodies and environmental givens or potentialities. Linking Hopkins's syncretic ideas about perception to the psychologist J. J. Gibson's account of our sensitivity to environmental “affordances,” the essay assesses three scales of ecological perception in Hopkins (arboreal, atmospheric, apocalyptic) and stresses the particular relevance of the intermediate (atmospheric) scale for our experience of environmental crisis. In “The Blessed Virgin compared to the Air we Breathe,” Hopkins recognizes the “teleconnections” bridging global systems and specific sites without remaining rooted to the local or bioregional (arboreal) or rushing to a vantage beyond planetary confines (apocalyptic).

向眼睛倾斜：霍普金斯和生态认知

这篇文章阅读了杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯 (Gerard Manley Hopkins) 的诗歌的“生态感知”：一种涉及人体与环境给定或潜力之间动态相互作用的感知模式。将霍普金斯关于感知的融合观点与心理学家 JJ Gibson 对我们对环境“供能”敏感性的描述联系起来，这篇文章评估了霍普金斯生态感知的三个尺度（树木、大气、世界末日），并强调了中间（大气）尺度的特殊相关性为我们在环境危机中的经历。在“圣母与我们呼吸的空气相比”中，霍普金斯认识到“遥连接”将全球系统和特定地点联系起来，而不是扎根于当地或生物区域（树栖）或急于超越行星范围（世界末日）。
