  • Summary

  • It may seem odd that Mike has a ‘best ever poem for dark times', but his argument is that if a poem captures the intensity of emotions and conveys those feelings in a striking manner, it can impel us to reflect in a new way on our circumstances.

    The achievement of Gerard Manley Hopkins in ‘No worst, there is none.’ is to explore and probe - within the fourteen-line constraints of a sonnet - the depths of human depression through language, sounds and imagery.
