ABSTRACT
In this paper I would like to examine some interesting prospective which made Hopkins differ from others. Hopkins’ had outstanding skill to understand his internal feeling and sensitivity for his surrounding especially for nature and religion but the way he invented his own theory of poetry was exceptional. He invented his own language for his poetry which later known as possible rhythms. Hopkins’ concept of poetry is a combination of music, painting and poetry. Before him the Romantic tradition of Wordsworth and Keats was on trend. Hopkins found a tradition in English poetry which was older and stronger than the one in possession in his day. He found a rhythmic tradition which could cut under and around the “running” or “common” rhythm of the nineteenth century.
