Pied Beauty— " Glory be to God for dappled things-- For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pieced--fold, fallow, and plough; And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

The names of the rivers remain with you. How endless those rivers seem! Your fields lie fallow, The city towers are not as they... Czeslaw Milosz
