FYI, the annual Gerard Manley Hopkins Conference this year was a wonderful success. It will hold another meeting in Rome later this year, and again in Denver next Spring.

[Romulus]

His poems are on my desk at this moment.

Lovely the woods, waters, meadows, combes, vales,
All the air things wear that build this world of Wales;
Only the inmate does not correspond;

God, lover of souls, swaying considerate scales,
Complete thy creature dear O where it fails,
Being mighty a master, being a father and fond.
