Pied Beauty
[dropcap]G[/dropcap]lory be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that
swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow,
and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim,
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
Gerald Manley Hopkins
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]his is where I am supposed to tell a little about myself and I really do plan on working on this page. If you followed my old blog, Bioluminescence, you might already know a little about me. I blogged as “Firefly” from the spring of 2004 through to the spring of 2007. I even won an award or two along the way. I don’t care so much for awards and external links anymore, though. I would rather be about the business of pleasing my Father. So, if you enjoy your visit here, please do come back. I may be ironing out the wrinkles here and there along the way, so grab a cup of tea (or coffee, if you prefer) and keep me company.
