God?is so great that all things give him glory if you mean they should.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Summer ends now now, barbarous in beauty, the Stooks arise Around up above, what wind-walks! what lovely behavior Of silk-sack clouds! Has wilder, willful-waiver Meal-drift molded ever and melted across skies?
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Natural heart's ivy, Patience masks Our ruins of wrecked past purpose.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Crystal sincerity hath found no shelter but in a fool's cap.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
My own heart let me more have pity on let Me live to my sad self hereafter kind, Charitable not live this tormented mind With this tormented mind tormenting yet.
Gerard Manley Hopkins

Gerard Manley Hopkins
Birds buildbut not I build no, but strain, Time's eunuch, and not breed one work that wakes. Mine,O thou lord of life, send my roots rain.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
