A theological eclogue on Gerard Manley Hopkins by George Barker
Production by Douglas Cleverdon
George Barker writes: What I have tried to do in The Gardens of Altering Eros is to write about the duality of the poet and the priest in Gerard Hopkins. And in the hope of eliciting this duality more clearly I have written an eclogue, or a dialogue, between Hopkins and the poet who" is in many ways his opposite-Baudelaire: seeing in Baudelaire a symbol of spiritual pride and its despair, and in Hopkins the conformities of a possible new humility.'
