Hopkins' "The Windhover" Abstract: In this article, the author tries to explain through both form (sonnet) and the words used what the poet G.M. Hopkins is trying to convey to the reader. The details of the sonnet can have interpretations, but they all contribute towards the basic theme of conflict between the bird's beauty and freedom of action and the Jesuit's life of renunciation. Some statements in the poem seem to show that his world is superior to the falcon's world, yet at times he appears to be undecided. And it is this indecision, reverberating in his mind, that is the cause of the conflict.

Hi marbuta mal-letteratura u tista' tisfa mfixkla magħha, għaliex waqt li tistħarreġ il-letteratura m'hix letterarja fis-sens veru tal-kelma; hi x-xjenza ta' l-arti letterarja. Hi ħidma speċjalizzata li f'ħin wieħed tista' tidher li tkun qiegħda sseħħ kemm fl-analiżi tal-kitba u kemm fl-analiżi ta' mekkaniżmi mentali oħrajn. Is-siwi u l-periklu tagħha, mela, huma mseħbin flimkien, bħallikieku mnisslin minn mudell wieħed. Periklu ewlieni hu li titqies bħala stħarriġ ta' ideat, bħallikieku l-letteratura nnifisha hi damma ta' ideat li jeħtieġu tifsir. Bħal kull ħidma oħra tal-bniedem, il-letteratura hi t-tfissir ta' fehmiet; sa hawn m'hi xejn ħlief l-użu tal-kliem għall espressjoni ta' l-ideat, u għalhekk sa hawn ukoll m'hix differenti minn kull kitba oħra. Bħalma kull kitba hi meqjusa bħala l-użu tal-kliem għat-tfissir tal-fehmiet, hekk ukoll il-letteratura tista' titneżża' mill-qofol karatteristiku tagħha jekk titqies biss skond in-natura li tgħaqqadha ma' kull kitba oħra. Il-letteratura tħaddem il-lingwa b'mod awtonomu, skond sensiela ta' mude1li magħżula mill-moħħ ħallieq ta' xi ħadd li m'huwiex biss kittieb (xi ħadd li jikteb) iżda awtur (xi ħadd li joħloq il-kitba).
