"As kingfishers catch fire, as dragonflies draw flame"

As kingfishers catch fire, as dragonflies draw flame;
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 its broad name;
Deals that each being indoor dwells;
Selves - goes itself myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is for me: for that I came.

I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eyes what in God's eyes he is -
Christ - 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.

-Gerard Manely Hopkins. Poems. 1918.
