Pied, dappled, couple-colored, brinded are the ways of expressing mixed color. “Landscape plotted and pieced─ fold, fallow, and plow” is also a way to express mixed color.( different situation of the land looks pied when you look down from a high place)
There is no specific noun in the poem that the poet wants to focus on, so “Pied Beauty” can describe all things on earth. Praise for all the beautiful things that God had given.
I believe there are four ways of expressing mixed color in the poem.
First, the leading line says “Glory be to God for dappled things”. “Dappled” the word means marked with spots and “colors”.
Next, the second line says “For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow”. Take a look of “couple-colour”; it’s obvious the word means “more than one color”.
As for “Brinded”, due to the explanations underneath the poem, the word means “spotted”. Cows usually are mixed with spots of many different colors, and the line itself suggests the colored skies are like cows with colored spots.
At last, it’s fairly simple,” pied” the word defines “patchy in color”.
Since Hopkins uses the first four lines to describe colors, it seems he brings up “everything that his so-called God has given” to strength his meaning of “pied beauty”.
There're four ways of expressing mixed color. First of all, the word "Pied" in the title, it means having sections or patches colored differently. Secondly, dappled things that is a metaphor for the mixture of different kinds of things, and "dappled" means having spots.
And then "couple-color" can be recognized two colors at least. Finally, the poet uses "brinded" to describe cow having a grey, brown streak or a pattern coloring.
Hopkins takes his attention to the specific qualities of nature. He thinks that merely describing the world as it is should be enough to give people a sense for the mysteries of spiritual life, and would lead naturally to praising God.
"Pied" in the title has represented the first idea of expressing mixed color.
Then, the author used "dappled" to start a series of mixed color. For example, "couple-colour" and “brinded” are two contrasting colors.
Next, trout which also give us an image of mixed color are embodied in "rose moles" as well as "stipple" that show the motley color.
In line 4, Chestnut and finch provide us a picture of spots. Last, "landscape plotted and pieced" symbolizes all the nature where we live in is drawn in stipple by God.
The author presents his pied beauty with animals, landscape(nature) and human beings. All of these are creatures made by God. Through such prettiness, the author conveys that there is always two sides of a coin, and this is a philosophy of God. Therefore, he praised God for dappled things in the leading line.
I think ways to expressing mixed color are the words that have the parallel with the word "pied" for example dappled,brinded rose-moles stipple...because those words unroll the mixed color and Chromatic aberration let the reader feel the poem are multiplet with colors.
Hopkins use the similar words with "pied" to expand the meaning of "pied beauty and he use those words to thanks everything form god.
I found several ways expressing mixed of color,such as dappled, couple-color, brinded, stipple, splotted, pieced, freckled. This poem is a hymn to creation of god. Pied Beauty use a lot of words to imply how diverse and various is the world god made. The poet put many adjectives and nouns, and use alliteration to emphasize brilliant and fickle the world is.
In this poem , pied is expressing to mix with different color and dappled, coupled-color as a brinded cow, rose-moles that author describes these color as human experiences.
As I think Pied Beauty is not simply to ask us to see the beauty in our pied surroundings. I wonder it is also speaking metaphorically about human affairs. Our hearts mixed with light and dark,sunlight and shadow, joy and sorrow,. To be human is to be pied.
I found many words like “dappled”, “brinded”, “ stipple” and “freckled”. These words are the same meaning with “pied”. Also, “Landscape plotted and pied─fold, fallow, and plow” and “And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim” are also give us an image that the world god created is full of color. Hopkins uses a lot of synonyms to describe the pied beauty which is created by god. It is really give me a colorful and beautiful picture of the world.
I think there are four ways of expressing mixed color in this poem. First, the title “Pied Beauty” itself has contained mixed color. Pied this word means patchy in color splotched or piebald. Second, the word brinded also meaning the gray or tawny color with streaks of darker spotted. Third, the word dappled is same as pied means spotted or mottled. Fourth, the word freckled initially means small brownish spot on the skin, often turning darker or increasing in number upon exposure to the sun. However, in this poem it symbolizes small dot or spots of color. All these colors made reader form picturesque scenery in his or her mind. The author thinks everything is changing but it is also internal made by God. He thinks that the omnipotent God made the world by his own rule. Maybe the incomplete pied beauty is more graceful than all things look perfect.
There are four ways to describe mixed colors. They are “pied” at the title; “dappled” at first line; “couple-color” and “brinded” at second line. The author expands the meaning of “pied beauty” to praise God, the creator of the fine scenery he discovers.
The author used those things to express mixed color, like “For skies of couple-color as a brinded cow”or “For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim”
In my opinion, the author used many impressions to explain the pied beauty. He used many elements of pied things and used the word of mixed color to expand the pied impression in our mind. The mixed color exists in the world usually. I think the author used this element to explain or to improve many beautiful things are living in the world and we do not know that. Those unknown things are created by the God. Those beautiful things are created by the God and we should admire the God and thank for it who gives us a lot of those things.
There are many ways of expressing mixed color in this poem. First, the "dappled things" Hopkins used two animals to expressed the mixed color. On e is Brinded cow, second is trout with stipple. Also, he imagined the chestnut-falls to fresh-firecoal. Second, the landscape plotted and pieced,the phenomenon of agriculture. The last also the most important expressing mixed color is the pied beauty, it included everything in our world,with swift, slow; sweer,sour; adazzle, dam and more.
Hopkins used plenty of natural elements in this poem, I think that Hopkis wants to express everything is controlled, everything is full of imagination, and beautiful. we should cherish everything we have, and praising nature.
I find four ways that the author expressed mixed color in the poem. First of all, he used the image of a brinded cow to describe the skies. This gives me a picture that the skies were going to rain soon because a brinded cow was gray and dark.
Second, the swimming trout had rose-moles in stipple, and this “rose” description makes the trout more lovely and colorful of its pied beauty.
Still, the fallen chestnuts are as red as the burning coals that we could see in barbecues or in fireplaces. The depiction turns the image of chestnuts into a bright one and therefore makes readers have a strong impression on chestnuts.
Last, there is another example－finches’ wings. We cannot tell what color they are exactly due to the fact that so many birds live in the world and that they have different colors.
Hopkins expanded the meaning of “pied beauty” into God’s masterpieces. We can see examples in line one “Glory be to God for dappled things－”, and in line ten “He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change.” We humans should respect God’s works and appreciate these pied beauties in our ordinary lives.
I found the author used many adjective such as pied, dappled, couple-colored and brinded to express the mixed color. These words mean that things are mottled and full of colorful spots.
The meaning of "pied beauty” is actually a glorification to God who embellish and prettify the world with those magical spots in the nature. The author observed the beauty of the Mother Nature carefully and put his observation into his poem. The author was trying to convey that "Pied beauty” is the creation of God, which is so noticeable that heighten the beauty itself, and those colorful spots remind us the essence of the beauty by impressing us with its magic.
In my opinion, there are three ways of expressing mixed color in this poem. The ways are, in succession, cow, trout, and finch.
Literature, film, art, philosophy, religion, or even science, are made by God. The crystallization of human thought and achievements of civilizations, perhaps, have their advantages. But putting them together, you can show the mottled beauty.
Author hopes this all to show the beauty and glory unto all.
I think that the words "pied","dappled","couple-colour","brinded","stipple" and "landscape plotted and pieced--fold,fallow,and plow" are the ways of expressing mixed colour.
In the poem, Hopkins expands the meaning of "pied beauty" to be all the things in the world which are created by God. He thank God for created the things in the world.
I think there are four ways of expressing mixed color in this poem. They are "pied", "dappled", "couple-colored" and "brinded."
As we can see clearly, the author described the variety and diversity in earth. I think the most important point is to praise and admire the grace that god had given to every creature on earth.
There are many ways of expressing mixed color in this poem. In the beginning of the poem, it says “Glory be to God for dappled things－”. It seems as if the poem is mainly going to talk about the awesomeness of “dappled things”, such as “couple-colored” sky like a “brinded cow” or trout with rose-color spots. However, it turns out that “dappled things” is a metaphor for the mixture of different kinds of things. For instance, all the trades of humankind are “dappled” only metaphorically. Jobs don’t have a particular appearance, but they are varied and diverse, just like “dapple things”. Also, each job is unique and has its own “color”. In fact, it is not just jobs but also “whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)”. Everything in the world is unique and has its own “color”, whether it has a particular appearance or not.
The poem is like a “hymn to creation” and reads like a prayer, praising and glorifying the Lord for providing the wonders of nature. When I read the poem, what comes to my mind is that nothing in the world is flawless and perfect. Even life has deficiencies and blemishes, though it is the greatest miracle of all. There are things that happen in our life which we consider to be stains or spots, and what we can do is learn to see the beauty of “dappled things”, the “pied beauty”. I am not sure if this is how Hopkins wants to expand the meaning of “pied beauty”, but that is how I feel.
As we read the poem, the author attempts to establish an atmosphere of autumn. However, instead of typically describing it as a season without vitality and hope, Hopkins exhibits the image of autumn in an extraordinary way. He regards the season as a period full of “pied” beauty. The word “pied” represents mottled colors in a darker form. Because there is no specific color implied, the author creates a view filled with imagination and diversity. As a result, I discover five ways of expressing mixed color. First, here comes the word “dappled” with the author’s appreciation “glory be to God.” The word dappled itself stands for a variety of colors, giving the coherence of what “pied” means. Also, the couple-color skies are depicted as a brinded cow, providing a vivid picture showing colors like black, gray, and brown in the skies in autumn. Thirdly, the line “rose-moles in stipple upon trout” build up a picture showing the reddish flower petals and crimson leaves sticking to the trout in order to make it livelier. Furthermore, the line “fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches wings” offers a mixed colors view visually. Colors of red and sparkling firecoal together with brown finches’ wings creates a harmonious vision in autumn. “landscape plotted and pieced ─ fold, fallow, and plow” suggests that the colors of the landscape are diverse because of their divided functions. There may be the color green on the plowing ground and color of soil on the fallowing ground. Finally, other things not being mentioning above are depicted as two opposite visual appearances, dim and adazzle. In brief, Hopkins used varied examples to form a colorful autumn created by Glory God not only to present the natural as well as pied beauty of autumn but also to praise for God’s exquisite creations and wonderful power.
In general speaking, people always think that pure color is the most beautiful color,however, the poem totally oppose this thought. He used lots of adjective like pied and dapple to describe the mixed color.Gerard Manley Hopkin wrote this poem to thanked and praised God that give us all the "pied beauty".Because of God's given, we also have the wonderful world.
The author uses many adjectives and nouns to describe the scene of "Pied Beauty", such example is like dappled, brinded, rose-moles, and freckled.
In my point of view, the author is trying to praise the beauty of nature and the life of little villiage and farming, wihch is associated to the "local literature".Also, I think he has his own religious background, and mixed some of it in the poem.The "god" at the start of the poem, and "Praise him" in the end.
There are several words that the author uses to express the mixed color.Such as dapples,couple-color,stipple and freckled.And these words are similar to each other.These also means mixed color. It is unique that HOPKINS thinks the beauty is pied.And this poet is he uses to praise God.This poet is very touching.As far as I am concerned,nothing is perfect.So I agree to the author's opinion that"pied beauty".
There are a lot of ways of expressing mixed color. First, the author outlines whole things with the word “dappled.” After that, he started to use specific objects including a brinded cow, rose-moles, the flame-red of fresh-firecoal, the red of chestnut-falls to depict dappled things. Those objects are vivid enough to understand.
Hopkins, first, uses the sense of sigh to portray a scene in the countryside. There are cows, trout, fold, fallow, plow, and so on. It is so interesting that those things are not perfect. In other word, they have imperfections that Hopkins regards them as a “pied beauty.” A pied beauty, in Hopkins’ minds, is bestowed by the glory God and the God should be praised. The meaning of “pied beauty” recalls me that everyone is like the pied beauty. Nobody is perfect and wonderful; however, if those which are poor can be put together to see, the whole thing will be gorgeous.
There are plenty of words that the poet used to describe mixed color,brinded,stipple and freckled... The words that he used in the poem to expand Mother Nature were so vivid that i felt like it was all happen before my eyes. I can also felt the rhythm in this poem, kind of cute and brisk. One word jumped to another. In the end, Hopkins praised God of what Mother Nature made the world become so colorful and changeable.
Well,I CAN FIND OUT that there are several ways that express mixed color in the poem.For examples,when reading these lines "For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings; Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough" I will have a picture in my mind, there are clouds in the sky with the settinf sun;spotted and bright-colored trout are swimming in the water;the burning firecoal shimmering garnet with the sounds of chestnuts falling from the trees;from a bird's eye,landscapes plotted and pieced in the color green, drab and golden.
The author tries to show us that how greatful and creatful our god is! All the beautiful and natural views( plants and animals) or unique appearances are gifts from GOD!
Hopkins uses four ways to express mixed color in thie poem. There are "pied", "dappled", "couple-color",and "brinded."
To Hopkins, pied beauty means everything beautiful on earth. So he admires the god who had given us this beautiful land and also the lives of every creature in the world.
