I like the changing meter :) Also "the rigid structures of his love" -- yes, that captures something important about Hopkins.
(What this reminds me of: Do you remember the part in Wrinkle in Time where one of the Mrs.'s talks about sonnets, and how they are like life-- I had no idea what a sonnet was before reading that book in the second grade or whenever it was, but it's informed my view of sonnets forever after.)
