Why ‘Heraclitean Fire’?

The title of the blog is from the Hopkins poem That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the comfort of the Resurrection.

I think Hopkins makes a good touchstone for what poetry can be. His work is difficult - both linguistically experimental and intellectually abstruse - but it is always trying to communicate something. He is nothing if not sincere. And he never stops making beautiful noises.
