What distinguishes Boyle's book from similar studies is his sensitive judgment as critic and his deep and refined spirituality as a man of God. His approach is uncomplicated. After discussing the nature of metaphor, he reaches a provisional definition that includes rhythm. This rhythm, he believes, has unique metaphorical significance in Hopkins's poetry.
