Gerard Manley Hopkins is her first and forever language crush. This blog’s name– The Hurl and Gliding–comes from Hopkins’s poem The Windhover.
I *adore* Gerard Manley Hopkins. I knew I liked you for a reason (besides your writing style… I enjoyed the piece about your brother)! Glad I found your blog.
