Gerard Manley Hopkins Quote

Felix Randal the farrier, O he is dead then? my duty all ended,
Who have watched his mould of man, big-boned and hardy-handsome
Pining, pining, till time when reason rambled in it and some
Fatal four disorders, fleshed there, all contended?


Felix Randal, lines 1-4 - Wessex Poems and Other Verses (1918)
