Open wide the mind’s cage-door,
She’ll dart forth, and cloudward soar.

long-awaited
wrapped in a chromatic cloak of words,
envisioning spirits ascending and descending
the ephemeral ladder,
connecting earthly striving
and eternal longings.

Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-Gerard Manley Hopkins, Inversnaid (1881)
