Drawing Poem: Two Portraits

William Wordsworth (1770-1850), "Imitations of Immortality," Stanza VI; and Gerald Manley Hopkins (1844-1889), "The Wreck of the Deutschland," Stanza XXXI.

Two of the most irregularly marginalized stanzas in English as shapes on the page. The drawing uses these stanzas as mental objects sketched at a glance to capture their uniqueness.
