The premier stanza discusses the contrast between the two themes; perfection and imperfection, magical spell in the second stanza; God’s perfection is mainly spoken about. Perfection The mere championship of this poem suggests the poem is about something great and powerful. The ledger ‘grandeur’ is defined as splendour and impressiveness. This tidings is frequently used when referring to appearance or 10dency and is a synonym and implication of perfection.Therefore, the poem’s title is suiting and signifies God’s perfection and His grace. In the poem, the earth and nature is too seen as a symbol of perfection, as it is made and controlled by God.

In line six-spot it is stated that ‘all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with dirty; And wears man’s smudge and man’s smell. However nature is relentless and proves itself to always be perfect, no matter how many attempts man tries to exterminate it, it just always finds a way kick back what harm man does to it. Lines nine and ten state ‘…nature is never spent; in that location lives the dearest freshness deep down things. ’ These phrases clear prove that the earth will not sustain its purity payable to man. The Holy Ghost’s presence with vitality and life and al lucent things are what keep the earth together, with warm breath and bright wings.

Most of the book of Matthew chapter five , especially Matthew 5:48 which states ‘you therefore must be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect’ clearly shows that due to man’s sin , such as selfishness, hatred, ignorance and in relation to the poem the employ of God’s blessings , which contribute to man’s imperfection, can resultantly separate us from God.\r\n'
