Respected web admin,
Explored the link. A beautiful poem I must say even if I haven't read it thoroughly as yet. Thought-provoking. Thank you for the same.
With regards,

'Take Francis Thompson's Hound of Heaven Everybody does not understand it : does it follow that Thompson is not a great poet? Or take the Upanishads. They deal with one subject only and have one strain : can we say, therefore, that it is not great poetry?
'"Creative" may be something which gives a picture of life creatively, representing the life-situation of the Spirit. "Expressive" is that which is just the expression of feeling, vision or experience, In the Hound of Heaven you get a true creative picture.
'Poetry is creative where it gives a complete picture of life as in the Hound of Heaven. There you have such a picture of the life of a man pursued by God.
'The Hound of Heaven is a far greater poem than any of Oscar Wilde's or Chesterton's.'
