"Airy Cages" HOPKINS FIFTH AMENDMENT by Sheila Mercieca - a re-evaluation of the fifth manuscript of "Binsey Poplars" where "My aspens dear, whose leafy cages quelled" is altered to "airy cages quelled" …. medical evidence shows that in the months prior to Hopkins curacy at Oxford, those with wealth or status sought to escape the city in search of clean air while those at Nazareth House which provided care for the destitute in the city and visited by Hopkins, encountered the opposite.  Binsey Poplars juxtaposes the vulnerability of nature and life and the poplars are "airy cages" which transform into bronchial trees, resembling human lungs.  The poem becomes a correlation  for the conditions and residents of Nazareth House and an elegy for its dead.

POEMS ON THE THEME OF GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS - Professor Kelsey Thornton (Newcastle University) - several poems written in response to several years spent in Hopkins' presence as Kelsey edited his letters ….
