Pied Beauty<\/h2>\n

~ by Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) <\/p>\n

\"Skyway<\/a><\/div>\n

    Glory be to God for dappled things\u2014
\n
        For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
\n
            For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
\n
    Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;<\/p>\n

        Landscape plotted and pieced\u2014fold, fallow, and plough;
\n
            And \u00e1ll trades, their gear and tackle and trim.\n<\/p>\n

    All things counter, original, sp\u00e1re, strange;<\/p>\n

        Whatever is fickle, freckl\u00e8d (who knows how?)
\n
            With sw\u00edft, sl\u00f3w; sweet, s\u00f3ur; ad\u00e1zzle, d\u00edm;<\/p>\n

    He fathers-forth whose beauty is p\u00e1st change:
\n<\/p>\n

                                                Pr\u00e1ise h\u00edm.<\/p>\n
\"Walnut<\/a><\/p>\n
\"Vacaville<\/a><\/p>\n
\"Skyway<\/a><\/div>\n
