The vitality and dynamic energy which are central to G. M. Hopkins` poetry are expressed with the skillful use of poetic language and rhythm. In this article I have studied the poetic vitality of his nature poems in particular. Lifeless things, animals, human beings--all these are full of vitality and move energetically in his nature poems. In Hopkins` early nature poems Keats` influence is apparent. There are rich expressions of color in "Vision of Mermaids" and "Pied Beauty". This praise of color is soon changed into movement. In "Spring" we can see all kind of creatures moving delightfully and energetically. Even the lifeless things such as clouds or water are moving vitally in Hopkins` nature poems. The cloud in "That Nature is Heraclitean Fire" is walking through the air like a marching army. And the bird in "The Windhover" flies in well controlled movements like that of a skater. All creatures in the world are moving delightfully under the grace of God. Human beings in his poems are naive and strong rather than refined and handsome. The blacksmith in "Felix Randal", the farmer in "Harry Ploughman" and the laborers in "Tom`s Garland" are all men of simplicity from the lower class and full of vitality. In his nature poems, all creatures, lifeless things, human beings are full of energy. This is related to `inscape`, his unique term and it most vividly appeares in movement. This movement is also well expressed by his distinguished rhythm and imagery. In reading his poems, we can feel the movement of the poem itself. Al poetic devices (dixon, rhythm, syntax and imagery) were used to achieve this effect. Hopkins` poems are all successful in their poetic inscape.
