![["No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,"]
BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS
No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,
More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring.
Comforter, where, where is your comforting?
Mary, mother of us, where is your relief?
My cries heave, herds-long; huddle in a main, a chief-
Woe, wórld-sorrow; on an áge-old ánvil wínce and síng —
Then lull, then leave off. Fury had shrieked 'No ling-
Ering! Let me be fell: force I must be brief.'
O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall
Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap
May who ne'er hung there. Nor does long our small
Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep,
Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all
Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uguar6ec5lhcg3lwr4mekkf5/bafkreigyiurpixzre66esrzgrwv2tdg7amzagszg6d5wg223lo7jqp2g5y)

POEM:
The pentatonic spring washes its winter clothes.
Five is a difficult color—
not this green of reflected sky, nor the red
clamor of midnight riding by on a church bell.
Think of the Greek of it,
an Egyptian river,
the dry desert voice you hear in the cleansing.
All before this moment found its own measure,
an ingenious inganno, a blessure
occasioned by a consonant's turmoil,
a Germanic algebra brightly a-boil
through all the strings, a fortspinning always pure,
always a public shrine to a wood secure
in its origin.
White is a difficult
sound in the edowa above the tumult
fastened to the soul of widows, magnitude
that arms the darkest nebula. The rude
dead awaken to another baptism.
