Pied Beauty a poem containing little words, but lots of literal terms and imagery. Hopkins tries to convey two primary points. The first point is conveying how all gods’ creations revolve back to him no matter what. The second point that is the main purpose of the poem, which is the beauty of the natural world and gods creations. Moreover, we clarify that the poet is a religious poet himself. There are two stanzas in the poem, but I will divide the poem to four sections. In section one which is located on the first line, the poet targets his main explanation in the poem, which is thanking god for creating “dappled things”.
What do “dappled things” mean? “Dappled things” can simply allocate the variety of people, their cultures, their strengths and power; but in the end we are all the same when it comes to god’s perspective because we worship him who created us. It also means nature, which is supported in the next section. The second section lies between line two to mid-line six that signify and describe more the phrase of “dappled things”. The poet includes images and colors like “skies of couple-color” which may refer to the blue sky and white clouds combined making a image of dotted things.
The poet mentions afterwards “brinded cow” which gives an image of black and white dots. It is also is the same image of the skies, but from a different perspective of gods creation. One is the perspective from the sky whilst the other is from an animal. They are both gods’ creations in the end anyway. The other image of “fresh firecoal chestnut” clarifies the relation between human actions and nature. It gives an image of how mankind creates ominous actions from nature but in the end they are all gods creations.

Coal is made by nature freshly then human beings burn it using it for many purposes of their needs. It is also a beautiful image seeing coal, which is black, flare red flames and change colors to red then to grey ash. “Hopkins also included Landscape plotted and pieced” signifying how even the great land masses have been flattened and designated by god and when the poet said “plotted” the image of dappled things pops up again relating to how we are like dots to god. The next section is like 6 -7, which converts the writer’s focus from nature to mankind the use of “tackle”, shows a mankind action.
The last section, which is the rest of the poem, gives more detail and abstract of mankind’s relation with nature. “Fickle and Freckle” signify how the human actions can vary but all from gods creations who gave us such abilities to do to nature its self. The poet alliterates “swift, slow, sweet, sour” showing also an image of what nature can do to mankind but can also be different perspectives of human personalities. In the end the poet finishes him poem by saying “praise god” because no matter what good or bad he has done, he does what he wants and creates what he wants.
