The Wreck of the Deutschland (1918) Gerard Manley Hopkins Part the first To the happy memory of five Franciscan Nuns exiles by the Falk Laws drowned between midnight and morning of Dec. 7th. 1875 1 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?

Oh, We lash with the best or worst Word last! How a lush-kept plush-capped sloe Will, mouthed to flesh-burst, Gush!--flush the man, the being with it, sour or sweet, Brim, in a flash, full!--Hither then, last or first, To hero of Calvary, Christ, 's feet-- Never ask if meaning it, wanting it, warned of it--men go. 9 Be adored among men, God, three-numberèd form; Wring thy rebel, dogged in den, Man's malice, with wrecking and storm.
