“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 wilderness yet.”

Gerard Manley Hopkins quotes (British Jesuit Priest and Poet, 1844-1889)

“All Life death does end and each day dies with sleep”

Gerard Manley Hopkins quotes (British Jesuit Priest and Poet, 1844-1889)

“I have desired to go / Where springs not fail, / To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail / And a few lilies blow,”

Gerard Manley Hopkins quotes (British Jesuit Priest and Poet, 1844-1889)

“Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend / With thee; but, sir, so what I plead is just. / Why do sinners' ways prosper? and why must / Disappointment all I endeavour end?”

Gerard Manley Hopkins quotes (British Jesuit Priest and Poet, 1844-1889)

“O if we but knew what we do when we delve or hew -- hack and rack the growing green! Since country is so tender to touch, her being so slender, that like this sleek and seeing ball but a prick will make no eye at all, where we, even where we mean to mend her we end her, when we hew or delve: after-comers cannot guess the beauty been.”
