"As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame; / [ . . . ] Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: / Deals out that being indoors each one dwells; / Selves -- goes itself; 'myself' it speaks and spells, / Crying 'What I do is me; for that I came'." --Gerard Manley Hopkins

Worldview and Art
From Joyce Cary, in Art and Literature (quoted in the anthology The Christian Imagination, edited by Leland Ryken, which was recommended to me by LuCindy):
All writers [. . .] must have, to compose any kind of story, some picture of the world, and of what is right and wrong with that world.
(Yes, Bryan friends, I'm teaching at Summit this week . . . and what a privilege.)
