- Things across which Daddy has flown:
- the ocean
- Things which Daddy has left behind for me:
- a memory
- snapshot in the family album
- Things which we don't need:
- no education
- no thought control
- no dark sarcasm in the classroom
- Conditions in which teachers are requested to leave them/us kids:
- alone
- Things the having of which is dependent upon the eating of meat:
- pudding
- Things which I don't need:
- no arms around me
- no drugs to calm me
- anything at all
- Things which I have seen:
- the writing on the wall
- Things which, all in all, are or were just bricks in the wall:
- it
- you
What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins
