Heaven-Haven
By Fr. Paul Mankowski, S.J. (articles ) | April 08, 2003 1:42 PM
A nun takes the veilI have desired to go Where springs not fail, To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail And a few lilies blow.
And I have asked to be Where no storms come, Where the green swell is in the havens dumb, And out of the swing of the sea.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J.
