Also (my second also)

I found it quite funny and somewhat frighteningly strange that Hopkins had this to say in a letter to Robert Bridges regarding RL Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde:

"You speak of the 'gross absurdity' of the interchange. Enough that it is impossible and might perhaps have been a little better masked: it must be connived at, and it gives rise to a fine situation. It is not more impossible than fairies, giants, heathen gods, and lots of things that literature teems with—and none more than yours. You are certainly wrong about Hyde being overdrawn: my Hyde is worse."
