Poetry is a fine art. It proceeds by indirection, by a kind of perichoresis (a dancing around by) of all its elements in relation to its main theme. With this in mind, it is clear that readers of Gerard Manley Hopkins's poem "The Windhover" have remained in large measure immobile in a glue, as it were, of conventionalized metaphor safely thickening into some sort of baroque allegory: In "The Windhover," the bird is Christ our Lord who, striking, snatches up souls like a bird of prey and consumes them in the spiritual ardor of total commitment to the graces of the Crucifixion; that is, in the total immolation of the ego in the service of exemplary redemptive witness.
