📚 'Gerard Manley Hopkins's Poetics of Anxiety and Transience' (2023) and I rose up, and knew that I was tired, and continued my journey

Learn this poem by heart. It's an immense gift.
'And immediately I regretted it. I thought how paltry, how vulgar, what a mean act! I despised myself and the voices of my accursed human education. And I thought of the albatross, And I wished he would come back, my snake.' From DH Lawrence great poem 'Snake'

Very much so. Maligned on account of 'Lady Chatterley's Lover,' it is work of many flaws, but he remains notwithstanding a tour de force as a novelist ('The Rainbow,' 'Women in Love')—and even more so as a poet.

DH Lawrence is wildly underappreciated as a poet. Take 'Snake' or 'The Ship of Death'—these two poems alone, in my mind, propel him to the pantheon of the greatest English poets.
@ponyfaceddog @Kulambq I see what you mean. I do love Lawrence's poetry but there's no way I'd rank him above Auden
