The poetical language of an age should be the current language heightened.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
O if we but knew what we do when we delve or hew -- hack and rack the growing green! Since country is so tender to touch, her being so slender, that like this sleek and seeing ball but a prick will make no eye at all, where we, even where we mean to mend her we end her, when we hew or delve: after-comers cannot guess the beauty been.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
