Read the brief explanation below of “Pied Beauty.”
In this poem, Hopkins is pointing out the beauty of nature. The idea is that at first glance, we may not appreciate the beauty of something, but we have to look deeper. The word “pied” means multicolored. In this poem, all of the images and objects mentioned are more than one color.
Take a look at the images below:
For the brinded cow in the poem, (streaked or spotted), we can see its beauty in more than one color. The cow is spotted and a sunset (“for skies of couple-color”) is streaked. Also, the spots on a cow consist of shapes that are similar to the shapes of a cloud.
The rose moles on a trout (rose colored dots or flecks) are also described. As readers can see, the fish is more than one color with golden scales and red dots.
In another line of the poem, a chestnut is being compared to burning coals and finches’ wings. The inside of the chestnut is the same color as burning coals. The feathers of a finch are also slightly orange in color (especially by his head). In addition, the texture of the wings of the finch as well as the inside of the chestnut are also very smooth.

Read the brief explanation below of “God’s Grandeur.”
The poet is describing God’s power as large and grand. It is compared to shaken foil and lightening (line 2). Hopkins questions why people do not heed God’s power. He explains that His power is unleashed slowly (“like the ooze of oil”).
In stanza two, Hopkins explains that nature is constant. It still renews itself. Also, each day, God gives people a new chance even when they do not heed His power. When Hopkins describes the “last lights off the black West went,” he is writing about sunset and the ending of a day. (The sun sets in the west.) In the next line, “Oh morning, at the brown brink eastward springs. . . “), Hopkins writes of sunrise and a chance for rebirth. (The sun rises in the east.)
