Natural heart's ivy, Patience masks Our ruins of wrecked past purpose.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
God?is so great that all things give him glory if you mean they should.
