Kate, I think ecstasy would have been out of place in the sonnet on Millay, which had other fish to fry. But I'm with you on this one. Since it it, at least in part, a tribute to Hopkins, it should have borrowed something from him in addition to some of his words and oblique, graceful references to familiar poems. I would have liked more metrical daring. All but the last three lines are end-stopped, and the tone is one of lovely but un-Hopkins-like serenity.
