Yeah the comment said this wasn't an audio warning, but dammit this sounded too good to leave alone. Enjoy!

Emperor_Cartagia's Emergency Alert - Part 2

"The Wreck of the Deutschland" is unquestionably Gerard Manley Hopkins' master work. It reflects where the true centre of this man of deep spirituality and towering intellect lay - in the heart, which is evoked 18 times during the course of the poem.

"The Wreck of the Deutschland" was written at the suggestion of one of his religious superiors after Hopkins confided his personal anguish at the death of 80 people, among whom were five Franciscan nuns, when the German ship The Deutschland ran aground at the mouth of the Thames in early December 1875. The poet-turned-priest was just emerging from a period of 7 years of literary silence during which time he completed his novitiate for the Jesuit priesthood.

"The Wreck of the Deutschland" was written in the months immediately after the ship-wreck. The poem was deemed "unpublishable" both by his Jesuit community and by his close friend, the Poet-Laureate Robert Bridges. When Bridges finally gathered Hopkins' poems together and published them 30 years after his friend's death, in his introduction, he described the poem as, "a great dragon folded in the gate to forbid all entrance."

This audio interpretation offers a small attempt to revise Bridges' sombre judgement and suggests, rather, that this symphonic poem holds an infinite cask of jewelled insights into the nature of Gerard Manley Hopkins and his understanding of human frailty, of human strength, of human tragedy, and of divine mercy.
