Abstract

In close reading two poems, Wendell Berry’s free verse “The Peace of Wild Things” (1968) and Gerard Manley Hopkins’s Italian sonnet “God’s Grandeur” (1877), the author sees that Spinoza’s understanding of human life and Deus sive natura is enjoined and at play to show that today, inasmuch as during his time, there is a permeable membrane between the poetic language of literature and the timeless wisdom found in philosophy. This work enjoins the sound of poetry and the timelessness of Spinoza’s philosophy alongside the author's own narratological insights on the anthropocene.
