SUMMARY OF THE POEM GODS GRANDEUR:

The whole universe is filled with the greatness of the god though human beings fail to recognize it. The glory and magnificence of the God flames out with brightness just like the shining of the gold foil. Though God is almighty and present everywhere, human beings being unaware of the punishment of the God, have no fear of God. without being afraid of the Gods power, will and anger, they are busy in their commercial activities to achieve the worldly gains. Because of industrialization, they have made the world ugly and bad place to live in. Because of their worldly activities, the earth has become bare and smeared. People are more interested in materialistic gain than in celebrating the glory of loving,merciful and heavenly father, the God. As a result of their worldly activities, the word has reached the verge of destruction.

Hopkins, however, believes that people can never destroy the beauty and freshness of nature. He believes in the presence of God in every object of the world. Everything of this universe is the creation of the God and therefore it can never be spent. The underlying beauty and freshness of nature renews itself in every spring. Though the light of the day seems to be spent with the setting of the sun, the sun gives rebirth to the light at the dawn with new light. The God is both creator and protector. He protects the world with his bright wings just like a bird broods over its babies with its warm breast.
