Denis, Whose Motionable, Alert, Most Vaulting Wit

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Denis, whose motionable, alert, most vaulting wit 
Caps occasion with an intellectual fit.
Yet Arthur is a Bowman: his three-heeled timber ‘ll hit
The bald and bóld blínking gold when áll ’s dóne
Right rooting in the bare butt’s wincing navel in the sight of the sun.
