No Worst, There Is None Analysis

Author: Poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins Type: Poetry Views: 1050

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, w{'o}rld-sorrow; on an {'a}ge-old {'a}nvil w{'i}nce and s{'i}ng --

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.

That his problems are in the mind is even more clear in the sestet: "mind has mountains; cliffs of fall/Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed". Worst of all he feels no relief coming from Heaven, feels abandoned in his suffering, (like Christ on the cross): "Comforter, where, where is your comforting?". In the absence of this comfort he can only grab some temporary respite wherever he can: "Here! Creep, /Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind". Sleep or even death might be his only relief: "Life death does end and each day dies with sleep

Hi, I really need help in understanding this poem. I am trying to analyse it for University and it seems to be the only sonnet I have had this much trouble with. I understand the harsh, depressive tone and the misery presented, but how is this presented and what is it saying about misery. Can someone please paraphrase for me?
