Have any of you noticed Tolkien's delight in beauty? While this is not overtly a Biblical/Christian theme, it is a sort of tip of the hat to the Creator of that beauty.
Lovely said! yes, what better way to praise God than praise his creations? Also, you are right, Hopkins's poetry is also full of charming paradoxes that ultimately praise the God that made them possible. Like Tolkien's stories, thjey inspire the same feeling of joy in the reader.
