"My own heart let me more have pity on;
Let me live to my sad self hereafter kind, Charitable; not live this tormented mind.
With this tormented mind tormenting yet.
I cast for comfort I can no more get
By groping round my comfortless, than blind
Eyes in their dark can day or thirst can find
Thirst's all-in-all in all a world of wet."
-- Gerard Manly Hopkins, My Own Heart Let Me More Have Pity On.
