Thou mastering me God! giver of breath and bread; — Gerard Manley Hopkins

Thou mastering me God! giver of breath and bread; World’s strand, sway of the sea; Lord of living and dead; Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh, And after it almost unmade, what with dread, Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh? Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.

Poems. No. 28, The Wreck of the Deutschland, st. 1
