📜 "The Windhover" — Gerard Manley Hopkins

I caught this morning morning's minion, king-
dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air.

Morning! I'm reading my wee cousin Lorna Elcock's fantastic first novel, The Windhover, while also listening to a brilliant audiobook version of The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. Completely enchanted by both of them 😊. And get well soon! @deadinkbooks.bsky.social
The cover of the novel 'The Windhover' by Lorna Elcock with a patchwork, collage-like, illustration including a piercing blue-eyed child staring forwards, a Scottish loch and a sketching of a bird of prey. The cover of The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. A midnight blue background with a fantastical illustration including a golden apple, a silver pocket watch, a lighthouse, waves and pink birds in flight.

Male Kestrel hunting in stationary hover at Longhaugh Point a few days ago. Video slowed to a quarter of real speed. I did ask him to come closer and turn round a bit but he was busy at the time. #birds

Mrs Kestrel yesterday, showing why she's also called Windhover.
Multiple exposure image of a female Kestrel hovering, with her head all but static while her wings and tail are in various positions. The background is sea and rocks.

Rough draft for “The Windhover”?

sorry but the guy who wrote these two poems was capable of doing better with an opening as amazing as "As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame"
The Windhover I caught this morning morning's minion, king- dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing, As a skate's heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding Stirred for a bird, – the achieve of, the mastery of the thing! Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier! No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear, Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermilion. ["No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,"] BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief, More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring. Comforter, where, where is your comforting? Mary, mother of us, where is your relief? My cries heave, herds-long; huddle in a main, a chief- Woe, wórld-sorrow; on an áge-old ánvil wínce and síng — Then lull, then leave off. Fury had shrieked 'No ling- Ering! Let me be fell: force I must be brief.' O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap May who ne'er hung there. Nor does long our small Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep, Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.

Something that must not be lost in the rush to adopt AI:

“My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird, – the achieve of, the mastery of the thing!”

Mastery of concepts & skills is critical to our humanity & is not always well-served by shortcuts or substitutes.

I just had to add the Gerard Manley Hopkins to your

Who doesn't like to watch a Windhover at work?
Always amusing when something catches their attention and they momentarily glance away from the focus of their stare to assess the situation.

If you are in or near Edinburgh and at a loose end in the evening on the 16th September, why not make your way to Waterstones to hear my wee cousin talk about her fantastic debut novel The Windhover? www.waterstones.com/events/lorna...

An old common name is "windhover" for exactly this behaviour. An older, rather coarser one is windf*cker.
