Description: An intense specialized life of its own. The importance of this concept to Hopkins's poetry appears when we see many of these descriptive phrases suddenly bursting into life from shook foil. The letters to this friends Bridges, Dixon, and Baillie explain his radical use of "sprung rhythm" and contain much acute and often humorous literary criticism.
