Tolkien too Hopkins
"The angels, similar Adam, were created inwards sanctifying grace, which is a thing that affects the individual, too were too then asked to larn into into a covenant or contract with God which, every bit with Adam, should give them an master copy jurist or condition too rights earlier God. The duties of this republic were, for them, to contribute each inwards his rank, hierarchy, too ain species, towards the Incarnation too the keen sacrifice. Sister Emmerich saw this nether the figure of the edifice of a tower: it mightiness maybe also live called a temple too a church. It was inwards fact the Church too the heavenly Jerusalem. It is also compared to a concert of music, the ranks of the angelic hierarchies beingness similar notes of a scale too aHopkins too then describes how Christ calls on the angels to worship God. But the vocal offered past times Lucifer, similar that of Melkor inwards Tolkien,
harmonic series: the working of the republic too the edifice of the tower or temple would live similar the playing on these notes, similar the tune, the music. They are also compared to the heavenly spheres, planetary distances, too thus on; too indeed these things, music too astronomy, are compared with themselves (in the Music of the Spheres too the morn stars singing for joy).... And lastly they are compared to a pedigree, to generations; too through such a pedigree or tree of generations inwards to a greater extent than or less variety it is probable that Christ passed, taking the stead only non the truthful nature of a race or serial of angels."
"was a habitation on his ain beauty, an instressing of his ain inscape, too similar a surgical physical care for on the organ too musical instrument of his ain being; it was a sounding, every bit they say, of his ain trumpet too a hymn inwards his ain praise. Moreover it became an incantation: others were drawn in; it became a concert of voices, a concerting of selfpraise, an enchantment, a magic, past times which they were dizzied, dazzled, too bewitched. They would non hear to the regime annotation which summoned each to his ain house (Jude 6) too distributed them here too at that topographic point inwards the liturgy of the sacrifice; they gathered rather closer too closer menage nether Lucifer's atomic number 82 too drowned it, raising a countermusic too countertemple too altar, a counterpoint of noise too non of harmony. I suppose they introduced a pathos every bit of the nobler nature set aside for the higher too fifty-fifty persuaded themselves that God was solely trying them; that to disobey too substitute themselves, Lucifer to a higher house all, every bit the angelic victim of the earth sacrifice was secretly pleasing to him, that selfdevotion of it, the suicide, the semblance of sin was a loveliness of heroism which could solely arise inwards the angelic mind; that it was divine too a meriting too at end a grasp of godhead."He concludes that this rebellion of the angelic host marked the lower world, the earth of matter, "with the confusion, clashing, too wreck which took house inwards the higher ane too was at that topographic point repaired directly only non hither all at once." Thus the Devil's offset sin was non the temptation of Eve, only preceded the creation of the Garden. He "tried to destroy past times violence earlier he succeeded inwards ruining past times fraud."
I should explicate what Hopkins way past times the "great sacrifice" to which the angels were supposed to contribute. He was speaking of a cosmic redemption, the descent of the minute Person of the Trinity into human shape inwards the midst of creation, inwards guild to raise, offset his Mother, too and then the rest, to spousal human relationship with God: "for redeem may live said non solely of the recovering from sin to grace or perdition to salvation only also of the raising from worthlessness earlier God (and all creation is unworthy of God) to worthiness of him, the meriting of God himself, or, thus to say, godworthiness. In this feel the Blessed Virgin was beyond all others redeemed, because it was her to a greater extent than than all other creatures that Christ meant to win from nothingness too it was her that he meant to enhance the highest" (p. 345).
