In early poems from his years at Oxford, before his conversion to Roman Catholicism and reception into the church by John Henry Newman, Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote several poems, “The Half-way House,” “Nondum,” “Let me to Thee,” and “My prayers must meet a brazen heaven,” where the absence of God—of the direct, immediate experience of God—is the theme. The poet seems to long for an ontological moment of being in his words, “inscaped” by God. In his childhood faith of the established religion of the Church of England, he has known only a God who is “above.” When he prays the paradox, “To see Thee, I must see Thee, to love, love,” Hopkins is setting out a major theme of his poetic and personal endeavors. This note of longing for an immanent God will be both fulfilled and frustrated in his life and in his art. Duns Scotus’s two incarnations of Christ, into the Eucharist and into human nature, will bring much of that fulfillment philosophically, as his acceptance of the Real Presence brought it spiritually.

“要见你，我必须[见]你，要爱，要爱”

杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯（Gerard Manley Hopkins）在牛津大学（Oxford）工作的早期诗歌中，他conversion依罗马天主教并受到约翰·亨利·纽曼（John Henry Newman）的接待之前，他写了几首诗：《中途之家》，《诺都姆》，《让我对你， ”和“我的祷告必须遇见一个无耻的天堂”，其中主题是上帝的缺席-上帝的直接直接经验。这位诗人似乎渴望用他的话语被上帝“迷住”的本体论时刻。从小就相信英格兰教会的既定宗教，他只认识“之上”的上帝。霍普金斯祈祷悖论时说：“见到你，我必须见到你，要爱，爱。”霍普金斯提出了他的诗意和个人努力的主题。这种渴望永生神的笔记在他的生活和他的艺术中都将得到满足和沮丧。邓斯·斯科特斯是基督的两个化身，
