Rfv-senses: Noun: "Parnassian language or poetry within Gerard Manley Hopkins' writings." and a correspondingly worded adjective sense. If it is only used in Hopkins' works and in works about his works, it would not seem to me that the citations can be deemed independent. Also, I don't think his works rise to being "well-known works", as good as they are. DCDuring TALK 22:27, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- I've added a bunch of quotes. WilliamKF (talk) 15:33, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- I don't see how the quotes support sense 2 rather than sense 1. But, perhaps more importantly, sense 2 doesn't seem likely to be intelligible to, say, me or a new college graduate. DCDuring TALK 02:00, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- Adjective sense passed and noun sense failed. — Ungoliant (Falai) 04:59, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
