Ready, set, write!

Sheila has begun another poetry contest. This time the form is: the cento.

My entry:
The Return
(a Hopkins cento)

I will appear, looking such charity,
It will flame out like shining from shook foil.
Yes I can tell such a key, I do know such a place,
Where springs not fail.
Or ancient mounds that cover bones
Spring, that but now were shut
To the stars, lovely-asunder.

I did say yes
With the sea-romp over the wreck,
And find the uncreated light.
And I have asked to be
Lower than death and the dark,
An ark for the listener, for the lingerer,
For him who ever thought with love of me.

Wow!

You've chosen some lines I don't recognize. (I do see a line from "God's Grandeur," one from "Heaven-Haven," and at least one from "The Wreck of the Deutschland.")

Beware! These centos are addictive!

Meredith said...

The first and last lines are from a little poem based on a vision of St. Brigid of Sweden:

To him who ever thought with love of me
Or ever did for my sake some good deed
I will appear, looking such charity
And kind compassion, at his life’s last need
That he will out of hand and heartily
Repent he sinned and all his sins be freed.

The speaker is Christ, but the poem meant a lot to RB perhaps because one can fondly take the speaker to be Hopkins. It was probably written during that great year of 1877, but it has not enjoyed the fame of the other poems from that period. It's short and sweet and it means a lot to me.

The other lines that were unfamiliar are from 'Silver Jubilee,' 'The Alchemist in the City,' and 'Heaven-haven.'

And now I'm hard at work on a Dylan Thomas canto!

Thomas D said...

A Dylan Thomas cento? That's gonna be something else!

:) и Анекдот от недосыпа Первая заповедь студента:
“Во время лекций в аудитории не забудь всё время иметь перед собой учебник, чтобы шум от удара лбом о парту не разбудил сладко спящего рядом соседа и не привлёк чрезмерного внимания лектора. Это позволит достопочтенному профессору закончить свой блистательный монолог, a также избавит вас от необходимости обратиться к лицевому хирургу или зубному.

После вселенской катастрофы Америка превратилась в мертвую пустыню. По бескрайним дорогам, кишащим бандами, враждующими между собой за воду и еду, странствует безстрашный Илай. Однажды он попадает в мрачные земли, где когда-то находился прекрасный штат Калифорния, а теперь это сущий ад, где бесчинствует тиран Карнеги.
