Appropriation was worked out in a set of ways, including
allegory and typology, to show meaning as phased or multiple: starting
and rooted in some literal/historical sense but flowing (in whatever
way) into other more significant spiritual levels called allegorical,
tropological, and anagogical.
This poem also reveals Hopkins's almost painful sensitivity to the
"inscapes" of his environment, to his anagogical keenness in
bringing meaning to and from the natural world. In that it has meaning it bypasses the customary
modes of the literal or metaphorical and inhabits Dante's final
category of signification, the anagogical, where form embodies truth
directly, making as it were a spiritual equation. |
