Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower-but if I could understand What you are, root and all, all in all, I should know what God and man is.

It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles whom we knew.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
