In Gerard Manley Hopkins's poem 'Pied Beauty', the term 'pied' in the title refers to

'Pied' means having patches of two or more colours, and Hopkins uses it to celebrate the diversity and variety found in God's creation — 'rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim,' 'finches' wings,' and 'landscape plotted and pieced.' The poem is a curtal sonnet praising God for the richness and multiplicity of the natural world. Hopkins's concept of 'inscape' — the unique inner essence of things — is closely related to this celebration of variety.
