Literature homework assignment:

As part of my "Humanities through The Arts" course, I was given a poem to evaluate. I was also given four questions, one of which requires the involvement of others.

Query people who have read the poem under circumstances similar to yours; then query people who come to it cold. How differet is their understanding of the poem?

PIED BEAUTY
Glory be to God for dappled things-
.. For skies of couple-clour as a brinded cow;
.... or rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
.. Landscape plotted and pieced--fold, fallow, and plough;
.... And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter; original, spare, strange;
.. Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
.... With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;

He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.

......................................... Gerard Manley Hopkins
