Pied Beauty
1877
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889)

Glory 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 & pieced — fold, fallow, & plough;           And all trades, their gear & tackle & 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.

"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea."
Tagore - Bengali poet and novelist

Was when I took the picture, but now I'm not.  Kind of wish I was . . .

Campfire on the last night at Quietside: later, live flute and guitar music wafted from the adjoining campsite
