Question

A bird is described as a "[this word]-dawn-drawn Falcon" in "The Windhover." For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this word. The poem "Pied Beauty" lists "skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow" and "all things counter, original, spare, strange" after stating, "Glory be to God for" things described by this word.
ANSWER: dapple [or dappled]
[10m] This poet of "The Windhover" and "Pied Beauty" wrote "I kiss my hand...to the dappled-with-damson west" in "The Wreck of the Deutschland."
ANSWER: Gerard Manley Hopkins
[10e] Hopkins' phrase "dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon" exemplifies his "sprung rhythm," where this property is placed on a foot's first syllable. The second syllable of an iamb, but not the first, has this property.
ANSWER: stressed [accept emphasized; accept lengthened or descriptions of making the syllable longer; accept accented]
