Heres a virtual movie of the Victorian poet Gerard Manley Hopkins reading his beautiful angst ridden poem "Justus Quidem tu es, Domine"The poem is read definitively by Richard Austin and is a recording from his CD "Back to Beauty's Giver" available from his website at the following link.. http://www.richard.austin.sh/i... Manley Hopkins (28 July 1844 -- 8 June 1889), was an English poet, Roman Catholic convert, and Jesuit priest, whose 20th-century fame established him posthumously among the leading Victorian poets. His experimental explorations in prosody (especially sprung rhythm) and his use of imagery established him as a daring innovator in a period of largely traditional verse.Kind RegardsJim ClarkAll rights are reserved on this video recording copyright Jim Clark 2008
