Contesto: Thou mastering me
God! giver of breath and bread;
World’s strand, sway of the sea;
Lord of living and dead;

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.

Contesto: You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing, interest ceases also... But a Catholic by mystery means an incomprehensible certainty: without certainty, without formulation there is no interest;... the clearer the formulation the greater the interest.

Contesto: Nothing is so beautiful as Spring—

Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
