MASTERY OF SKY
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling
wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate's heel
sweeps smooth on a bow-bend:
the hurl and
gliding
Rebuffed the big
wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the
thing!
Gerard Manley Hopkins
from 'The Windhover'
