Question

In a poem partly titled for this person, a figure named Hope holds out “the mind’s own mirror” to this man but sees her own reflection. This person “plays in ten thousand places, lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his,” (10[1])according to a poem that says that “each mortal thing” (10[1])cries (10[1])“What I do is me: for that I came.” The speaker claims (-5[1])“I am all at once what [this person] is” (-5[1])at the end of the poem “That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire.” (-5[1])A poem dedicated to this person uses the phrase “morning’s minion” (-5[1])to describe a (10[1])kestrel. (-5[3])A woman calls out (10[1]-5[1])to this person to “come quickly” as she is about (-5[1])to drown in “The Wreck of the Deutschland.” For 10 points, Gerard Manley Hopkins dedicated “The Windhover” (-5[1])to what religious (-5[1])figure?
