Hopkins’s environmental poem “Ribblesdale” (1882) shows his creative processes as it celebrates nature and language. It even visualizes God the Father creating the world as a fisherman casting his line and making the River Ribble flow through Lancashire—a river beautiful at Hopkins’s Stonyhurst College, but downriver, treeless and grassless, polluted and surrounded by factories. As a child and young man, Hopkins loved nature, later cherishing even nature’s shapes and selfhood and celebrating nature in his poems. But he grieved for the environment, presenting the earth as a huge nest on which a very large Holy Ghost still sits, warming and protecting her earth-egg. Hopkins mourns earth’s loss of trees and grass, of a clear sky, of “a rural scene,” even of “the weeds and the wilderness.” And Christ, as a human, was implicated in this loss, and as human was just a “Jack, joke, poor potsherd, patch, matchwood.” Yet, as Trinitarian God, he is an “immortal diamond” and, grandly, offers and shares this bright sparkling life with his fellow humans. Such is Gerard Manley Hopkins, lover of God and God’s earth—and grieving environmentalist poet.

环保主义者诗人杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯(Gerard Manley Hopkins),具有三位一体的维度甚至三位一体的幽默

霍普金斯的环境诗《里布尔斯代尔》(Ribblesdale)(1882年)展示了他的创作过程,因为它赞扬自然和语言。它甚至可以将父亲神创造出来,像一个渔夫一样铸造世界,让他泛滥成灾,让Ribble河流经兰开夏郡。兰开夏郡是霍普金斯大学斯托尼赫斯特学院美丽的一条河,但下游,无树,无草,被工厂污染和包围。霍普金斯小时候还是热爱大自然,后来甚至珍惜大自然的形状和自我,并在自己的诗歌中赞美大自然。但是他为环境感到悲痛,将地球呈现为一个巨大的巢穴,巨大的圣灵仍然坐在那儿,温暖并保护着她的地卵。霍普金斯哀悼地球上树木和草木,晴朗的天空,“乡村风光”,甚至“杂草和旷野”的损失。基督作为一个人,牵涉到这种损失,就像人类一样,“杰克,开玩笑,烂摊子,补丁,火柴”。然而,作为三位一体的神,他是“不朽的钻石”,并且与他的同胞共同奉献并分享了这种光辉灿烂的生活。上帝和上帝的大地的情人杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯(Gerard Manley Hopkins)就是其中一位悲痛的环保主义者。
