I caught this morning morning's minion, kingdom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn falcon.

Gerard Manley Hopkins quotes
I caught this morning morning's minion, kingdom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn falcon.
Nothing is so beautiful as spring - when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
Towery city and branching between towers; Cuckoo-echoing, bell-swarmed, lark-charmed, rook-racked, river-rounded.
What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet, Long live the weeds and the wildness yet.
