Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells ;
Selves – goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.
I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God’s eye what in God’s eye he is –
Christ. For Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not hism
To the Father through the features of men’s faces.
Gerald Manley Hopkins (1844-89).
