quotable g.m.h.
to continue the gerard manley hopkins quest, here are some great lines without typing the poem entire:
"look at the stars! look, look up at the skies! O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!"--from the starlight night
"for Christ plays in ten thousand places, lovely in limbs and lovely in eyes not His to the Father through the features of men's faces"--from as kingfishers catch fire
"because the Holy Ghost over the bent world broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings."--from God's grandeur
