What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wilderness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wilderness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
Gerard Manley Hopkins, ‘Inversnaid’
English poet and Jesuit priest, 1844-1889

O let them be left, wilderness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
