This essay aims to analyze the influence of the literary interaction between Hopkins and Dixon on Hopkins’ poetry. Hopkins, a Jesuit priest and poet, had a long letter correspondence with Richard Watson Dixon, an Anglican priest and poet. Hopkins praised most of Dixon’s poetry, but disapproved of “Life and Death” and “Dust and Wind” on the grounds of them being pagan, not effectively reflecting ancient philosophies and not presenting a single pure image. Hopkins went on to create new poems by improving on the shortcomings he criticized Dickson for. Hopkins’ “Spelt from Sibyl’s Leaves,” surpassing the simplicity in Dixon’s “Life and Death” portrays an even more complex image of life while better capturing the dichotomous nature of the world, which is the essence of Heraclitean philosophy. Also, Hopkins’ “That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the comfort of the Resurrection” is the counterpart of Dixon’s “Dust and Wind.” Instead of accepting Empedocles’ theory of the four-elements and Lucretius’s atomic theory as Dixon did, Hopkins, by sublimating fire into an absolute as did Heraclitus, describes a resurrection governed not by the laws of atoms but by the laws of Christianity. Thus the interaction with Dickson stimulated Hopkins’ desire to prove himself as both a Christian poet and classicist.
