As kingfishers catch fire
As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies drw flme; As tumbled over rim in roundy wells Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name; Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: Deals out that being indoors each one dwells; Selves - goes itself; myself it speaks and spells, Crying Wht I do is me: for that I came. say mre: the just man justices; Keps grace: tht keeps all his goings graces; Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is - Chrst - for Christ plays in ten thousand places, Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his To the Father through the features of men's faces.
