Manley

Famous quotes containing the word manley:

“Wild air, world-mothering air,
Nestling me everywhere,
That each eyelash or hair
Girdles; goes home betwixt
The fleeciest, frailest-fixed
Snowflake; that’s fairly mixed
With, riddles, and is rife
In every least thing’s life.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“Lovely the woods, waters, meadows, combes, vales,
All the air things wear that build this world of Wales.”

“That piecemeal peace is poor peace. What pure peace allows
Alarms of wars, the daunting wars, the death of it?”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
