      ab: Harold Bloom argues that the study of poetry uncovers "the hidden roads that go from poem to poem." I explore how Emily Brontë's voice anticipates that of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Brontë, with her Romantic commitment to the "God within my breast," and Hopkins, with his theological commitment to using his art as a tool to realize Christ's presence, might not appear to have much to say to each other; however, one poet's writing helps to further our understanding of the other's. Two terms that have come to be associated with Hopkins, instress and inscape , assist in making sense of Brontë's response to her world. Both poets come together in the fullness of their yearning to find an answering voice in the world and the pain when that answering voice proves so capricious.
