Throat is still sore but I want to read you a poem anyway.

Happy dolphin noises! Oh, lord. LOVELY! I do adore GMH.

Thank you! Me too. "Send my roots rain" is so lovely and so often quoted, but people don't usually know where it comes from.

I have not read much Hopkins, and didn't know this at all. For curiosity-- did you read this just for love, or in some part because Hopkins is so notoriously hard to read well? Your performance is a tour de force. :) And I should bring you tributes of chervil when I have it going. :D

*love*

Just for love. Me and Hopkins and Job, we are sisters under the skin.
