".... And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest
freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off
the black West went
Oh, morning, and the brown
brink eastward, springs--
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm
breast and with ah!
bright wings."

"God's Grandeur" by Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J.,
taken from the Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse,
Oxford University Press, London.
